With concerts in more than 30 countries, a full measure of accolades including the German ECHO JAZZ as "Ensemble of the Year“ and "Live Act of the Year“, Jazz awards in gold for each of the trio's studio albums, No. 1 on the Jazz charts and even high ranking on the Pop charts, the trio's popularity has attained a level usually marked by current pop bands.
And yet, Tingvall Trio are just three friends who still love to make music together. This autumn their new album Dance will be released.
