Espen Eriksen Trio, Andy Sheppard at St George's Bristol

About

About\nSerial-collaborator Andy Sheppard's latest musical partnership is with the renowned Norwegian trio led by pianist Espen Eriksen, with Lars Tormod Jenset on double bass and Andreas Bye, drums.\nThe trio, who have so far released three acclaimed albums on the esteemed Rune Grammofon label, have perfected a lyrical, "chilled" style of melodic jazz that compares with Sweden's e.s.t. It's a style that suits featured soloist Andy Sheppard down to the ground, serving up beautifully poised backdrops for his tenor and soprano sax to inhabit, reminiscent of Jan Garbarek with Keith Jarrett's European Quartet.\nTickets: £22, £20, £5 Students (limited availability), £17 earlybird
