Triosence: Hidden Beauty

Read "Hidden Beauty" reviewed by David Bruggink


Triosence may not yet be a household name among jazz aficionados in the United States, but since the turn of the millennium, they have become a fixture of the German jazz scene. In addition to performing internationally, they take a distinctly cosmopolitan approach to their sound. Past albums have shown the trio intermingling aromas of Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East, and Hidden Beauty is no different in that respect.

Nothing straight-ahead, boppish or free; ...
