Swedish piano player Martin Tingvall’s compositions are characterized by catchy melodies, which not only sweep along jazz lovers but even appeal to audiences which are not familiar with jazz. The three Hamburg based musicians play their very own kind of Scandinavian jazz with a Cuban touch and a slight rock’n’roll attitude. In the ballads you can hear the Northern melancholy but always spiced with a positive feel.
Careful listeners can recognize Swedish folksongs which are an important ingredient in many songs.. The arrangements of those songs give the trio plenty of space for improvisation which turns every concert into a one-time experience.
Tingvall Trio recorded three absolutely great albums for Skip records, called "Skagerrak", "Norr" and the latest "Vattensaga".
