Jazz on 3 - Bobo Stenson Trio

Jez Nelson presents another chance to hear Swedish pianist Bobo Stenson's trio recorded at the Royal Northern College of Music in October in 2008. The trio play music from their album Cantando including compositions by Argentinian tango master Astor Piazzolla and British baroque composer Henry Purcell. Joining Stenson on stage are Anders Jormin on bass and Jon Falt on drums. Bobo Stenson was born in Stockholm in 1944 and has built a reputation as a highly regarded figure with a distinctly European sound. His 38-year relationship with leading jazz label ECM has produced a number of piano trio albums, often drawing inspiration from various folk and classical music.
