Info for Dance

“Dance” is the title of this new album and the trio takes listeners along on a journey around the world, letting the widest variety of dance styles flash and flare as a vivid form of emotional expression.Martin Tingvall describes how it came about: “The idea for ‘Dance’ emerged while we were rehearsing ‘Cuban SMS’, one of the first new songs. All jokes aside: It was really hard for us to stay in one place as we worked. There was so much rhythm and energy in the music. As for me, I can’t dance to save my life, but it just grabbed us and carried us away. The idea for an album full of dances was born.”

Despite all the recognizability inherent to the typical Tingvall Trio sound, many of the compositions are clothed in startlingly new attire. Alongside Oriental spices and hues on “Arabic Slow Dance” or reggae beats on “Ya Man”, the tanginess of Latin America can be discovered, too, for instance on “Bolero” or “Spanish Swing”. With this successful trio, it goes without saying that the power and joy found in dance is complemented by a few calm moments full of thoughtful depth on tracks like “Det Lilla”, or the sorrow on “In Memory”. “Dance” is a thrilling album where the three of them are able to display a multitude of facets.

Martin Tingvall, Omar Rodriguez Calvo and Jürgen Spiegel sound more matured and harmonious than ever before on this new release; it’s easy to picture just how much fun they had recording these pieces.

Tingvall Trio

Martin Tingvall
Hej, I’m responsible for all kinds of black and white keys. I personally like different kinds of music and I hope that you can not only hear that in my songs, but also in the fantastic playing of my friends and colleagues Jürgen and Omar. Normally I compose when I am in my home country Sweden. In the little town of Snarestad in the south I have found a place of silence for myself. Here I have peace to work on new compositions and to play.

Omar Rodriguez Calvo
Hola, I am the bassist of this trio. Between Martin’s nordic melodies and Jürgen’s rhythms, I keep the us together with deep tones from my bass and my pulsating cuban heartbeat. The trio is a very important part of my musical journey; it bonds the emotions from life, everything between quiet expression and explosive fire. Our music comes from three very different personalities, but in the end we become one: Music!

Jürgen Spiegel
I am Jürgen, the drummer. Because of my experience in musical styles other than jazz (mostly rock, pop and hip-hop www.drums-for-your-song.com) I provide rhythm for the trio from a different side. I get lyrical input from Martin and Omar and I mix it with my way of playing, which i find extremely inspiring. The challenge of playing together is very enriching: no concert is the same as the last one and I believe that the compositions provide me with so much freedom and space that, together, we always end up on new shores.

This album contains no booklet.
