Trio Elf / jazzahead! 2017

 Trio Elf, consisting of pianist Walter Lang, drummer Gerwin Eisenhauer and new young bassist Peter Cudek, another unit of the piano trio format, already went into 'heavier' territory more than ten years ago. It is a constellation that easily navigates through the fields of Brazilian Popular Music, drum n' bass, dub-step and hip hop taking and using those elements that fit in its trio context. It is well done with the typical early Jarrett inspired twists and turns by pianist Lang. It was quite progressive when they started. Meanwhile those new beats are history themselves and integrated by many trio units in jazz in different and also much heavier way. Nonetheless it is still pretty entertaining what Trio Elf is doing.
