Jesper Zeuthen Trio Live is a continuation of the process that began with the formation of Jesper Zeuthen Trio and the recording of its debut album, simply called Jesper Zeuthen Trio, released in 2010.

As with the first CD, Live is a no-nonsense product both in musical content, title and cover art (by Zeuthen himself).

Live presents a trio that has matured through intense rehearsals and numerous concerts in Denmark and Germany, up to the point where the group’s repertoire of around 30 Zeuthen tunes has been internalized into the DNA of the three musicians, making the compositions a framework for extended and unpredictable improvisation.

When choosing the location for recording the CD, Jesper Zeuthen picked Literaturhaus – a former church close to his home in Copenhagen, situated in an area offering as much cultural and national diversity as that of his own music. The room has plenty of reverb that embraces the trio’s ambition to play with no amplification at all, giving the three musicians the spatial freedom to integrate each instrument into the fabric of the music.

Live documents a milestone on the unending path of musical process that Jesper Zeuthen and his trio travels and points forward to new explorations yet to be documented. Stay tuned.
