Kolne Trio
Elsewhere
The album Elsewhere by the Kolne Trio situates itself in that liminal territory where contemporary jazz converges with European art music and refined timbral enquiry, forging the nine original pieces into a coherent cycle, almost a speculative suite on musical time. Suspended rhythmic textures, metric displacements and finely chiselled harmonies open onto a rarefied sonic space in which the classical trio of piano, double bass and drums is conceived less as an idiomatic apparatus than as a laboratory of form and colour. The musicians strong classical background surfaces in the texture as a discreet palimpsest and is transmuted into a web of allusions, echoes and resonances, offering a lucid, meditative and distinctly contemporary perspective on the jazz idiom.
