In 2023 the Tingvall Trio is celebrating 20 years together as a band. What's particularly remarkable is that from the time the trio was created right up to the album being presented here, BIRDS, their ninth, the lineup has always remained the same. Alongside Martin Tingvall on piano, who gave the trio it's name, we have Omar Rodriguez Calvo on double bass and Jürgen Spiegel in his realm of drums and percussion. These three musicians based in Hamburg, Germany have managed to write a success story over all the years that is hard to match: multiple ECHO JAZZ Awards as ensemble and Live Act of the Year, a total of six JAZZ Awards in Gold, two Impala Awards for international sales, a whole series of No. 1 Jazz Chart albums, and four times with high rankings on the German Top 100 Album Charts. In the world of German Jazz, outstanding is the word that comes to mind. With BIRDS this evolution is now reaching it's tentative zenith. As always, Martin Tingvall is responsible for all the compositions, but in terms of the arrangements and voicings the pieces were developed jointly by the trio in rehearsals and concerts until they were "ripe for recording. " And naturally there are catchy tracks to be found on this album once again, for instance Woodpecker, Hummingbird or Air Guitar. Wonderful ballads like The Day After with Omar Rodriguez Calvo displaying his bowing prowess on bass alternate with tunes like Africa, whose lightness instantly threads it's way into the auditory channels. SOS, the call for help to finally provide our planet Earth with a perspective for survival, offers the Tingvall Trio Sound at it's finest and a touching composition to boot. With his solo piece entitled Call For Peace, Martin Tingvall concludes by contributing an especially introverted moment. BIRDS is not only being released in the conventional 180 g LP, CD and digital formats Playlist Tips: Woodpecker, SOS, Air Guitar, The Return, Call For PeaceTracklisting:1. Woodpecker 4:29 2.
