The New Conrad Miller Trio presents an afternoon of captivating jazz woven together with stories that take you far beyond the music. Pianist Coen Molenaar, double bassist David de Marez Oyens and drummer Mark Eshuis form a tight-knit trio that blends freedom, emotion and refinement with effortless ease.
Their music travels from azure-blue waterfalls and the scent of summer rain to lazy fishermen in Porto de Galinhas, Brazil. Anecdotes from life on tour guide you from the Citadel of Damascus to ten minutes in Paris, with rhythms stretching from Mozambique to South America. Each piece gains extra depth through the personal stories behind the compositions.
The piano lines drift through the room, carried by warm bass tones and subtle yet dynamic drumming. The trio creates an atmosphere reminiscent of an intimate New Orleans jazz club: close, intense and full of nuance.
