Trio ELF has never stayed within the perimeters of the classic jazz piano trio. Their debut album \u201cELF\u201d (2006) explored the possibilities of playing drum & bass beats, which are usually produced electronically. They did it acoustically, with drums followed by piano textures that shifted from floating sensitivity, to gripping urgency, all this held together by minimalistic bass lines. Next came \u201c746\u201d (2008), \u201cElfland\u201d (2010), \u201cAmsterdam\u201d and \u201cELF RMXD\u201d (both recorded in 2013), \u201cMusicBoxMusic\u201d (2016), and \u201cThe Brazilian Album\u201d (2018). Now, with \u201cFram\u201d, Trio Elf dares to advance even further into the realm of electronic dance music \u2013 of course, as always, completely acoustic, with Walter Lang on Piano, Gerwin Eisenhauer on drums and Sebastian Gieck joining the two on double bass for the first time. The Norwegian word \u201cFram\u201d can be translated as \u201cahead\u201d, and that’s exactly the direction in which the eponymous opener marches.<\/p>\n
