Helge Lien Trio – Revisited

Description

Improvisation is at the heart of Jazz. It is also at the heart of Revisited in various surprising ways. After the departure of long-term band members Frode Berg (after Guzuguzu) and Per Oddvar Johansen (after 10), Helge Lien had to re-think and re-assemble his trio during the pandemic, while continuing to record and (virtually) perform – you could call it improvisation squared. In the act of rehearsing and playing, the new formation arrived at interpretations which felt like a look back and a fresh departure all at once: This is not a revolution, it’s passion under the microscope.
