  • Description

    For his sixth album, "Balance", Winkelman recorded in Sear Sound, New York with drummer Obed Calvaire and bassist Matt Penman, artists he highly respected but had yet to perform with, to add new energy to the new album whilst also exploring Winkelman's interests in Afro-Cuban, gospel and classical music, filtered through their collective jazz perspective.

    Over five albums as a leader, New York pianist Ben Winkelman has been developing his concept for the piano trio, seeking to strike an elusive balance between composition and improvisation, planning and spontaneity, the intellectual and the intuitive.
    On "Balance", Winkleman features each of the three instruments, not only as soloists, but as if they were a small orchestra, giving them each an integral part in the compositions, thereby expanding the overall voice of the trio.

    "...the trio captures the ear, providing thrilling evidence of a stellar contemporary trio to rank among the best..." - ALL ABOUT JAZZ.
