Klavertrio i mesterklasseOplev en af Danmarks mest roste og alsidige trioer, anført af den fremragende pianist Simon Toldam.Det er musik, der skiftesvis swinger, groover og bevæger sig ud på uforudsigelige og anarkistiske rejser. Og indimellem opstår momenter af stor lyrisk skønhed.Trioens album Sunshine Sunshine or Green as Grass blev udråbt til intet mindre end et mesterværk fra flere sider, og live er det altid en fornøjelse at opleve dem.Simon Toldam har tidligere vundet en Danish Music Award i 2006 med orkesetret Sekten, og i 2007 vandt han to priser med Simon Toldam & Prügelknabe. Derudover blev han ved Copenhagen Jazz Festival i 2007 udnævnt til Official Composer for at skrive et stykke kaldet Uniform for fire basklarinetter, trommer og piano.Simon Toldam startede sin første trio i en alder af blot ni år og har siden ledet adskillige jazz- og improvisationsgrupper. Komposition og improvisation har altid været og er stadig grundstenen i hans karriere.
