  • Description

    'Memento' is Ayumi Tanaka Trio's debut album, and a bold statement from the Japanese born composer, pianist and band leader. Together with two highly acclaimed Norwegian musicians: up and coming Christian Meaas Svendsen on bass and Grammy-winning Per Oddvar Johansen on drums, the trio thoroughly explores their unique musical universe throughout an album that challenges the traditional piano trio format. Ayumi Tanaka has developed her unique musical persona by drawing from ideas and inspiration found in Japanese art, music and philosophy. By carefully examining these influences and then combining them with a strong fascination of Nordic jazz, she delivers a very complex and unique statement as a pianist. 'Memento' is an album that slowly unfolds itself, that never lacks direction or intent, and that develops beautifully by spontaneous interaction between three strong willed, but selfless musicians. "A new and refreshing, original voice has arrived on the Norwegian jazz scene" - Terje Mosnes, Jazz i Norge (NO) "One of the most fascinating and freshest piano-trio albums I have heard since I started to write about Nordic Music. What a delight!" - Ingo J. Biermann, Nordische Musikk (DE) Personnel: Ayumi Tanaka (piano), Christian Meeas Svendsen (bass), Per Oddvar Johansen (drums)
