Tingwall Trio

The Tingvall Trio will perform on the Blue Note stage as part of a tour promoting their latest album “PAX”. One of the most important European jazz bands for more than two decades, it has delighted audiences around the world, combining Scandinavian melodiousness, freedom and extraordinary stage energy.

After performances in more than 30 countries, sold out tours and more than twenty years in business, the Tingvall Trio is back with a new album “PAX”. This is another chapter in the impressive history of the band, whose records won eight gold and one platinum Jazz Award. The trio is one of the few bands whose albums have made it not only to the charts of jazz music, but also to the main sales charts in many countries.

Tingvall Trio is made up of artists from three different countries, whose different musical experiences have resulted in a distinct and unique style. Swedish pianist Martin Tingvall, educated among others by the legendary Bobo Stenson, brings a characteristic Scandinavian sensibility to music. German drummer Jürgen Spiegel has collaborated with many renowned artists, including Nneka, gaining recognition for his extremely versatile and expressive playing. Cuban double bass player Omar Rodriguez Calvo, known for his collaborations with Ramon Valle and Roy Hargrove, has enriched the band's sound with southern lightness and pulse, thanks to which the music seamlessly blends Scandinavian jazz and folk inspirations with rock energy.

It is this unique blend of melodiousness, improvisation and rhythmic strength that has made the Tingvall Trio recognized as one of Europe's leading jazz bands for years, winning loyal audiences around the world.

The composition of the team:

Martin Tingvall — piano Omar Rodriguez Calvo — double bass Jürgen Spiegel — drums

The title of the album “PAX” — meaning “peace” in Latin — was chosen not by chance. In times of social division and global crises, musicians want to convey through their works a message of peace, hope and mutual understanding. The album features both moving, lyrical compositions such as A Promise and energetic tracks such as Cruisin, showing the full spectrum of emotions characteristic of the trio's sound.
