Arild Andersen, Rob Luft and Daniel Sommer Trio

Playing music from their acclaimed album As Time Passes, experience a world-class trio that bridges generations in an innovative and spontaneous musical encounter. With a shared sense of aesthetics and sound, they explore how their diverse backgrounds merge into a unified expression. A must-see band on the European jazz scene.

Danish drummer Daniel Sommer met Norwegian bass legend Arild Andersen in Oslo, where they played as a duo and enjoyed discussions about music and improvisation. Eager to expand their collaboration, Andersen suggested British guitarist Rob Luft should join as the third member and thus, the trio was born!

In March 2023, Andersen, Luft and Sommer came together in Denmark for the first time, performing and recording what would become their remarkable debut album. Dedicated to evolving the Nordic sound in a contemporary context, the trio blends original compositions with structured improvisation, forging deeper connections across the European jazz scenes.
