A playful, adventurous trio pouring from their reservoir of creativity.
Norwegian bassist Mats Eilertsen has been a distinctive presence on ECM recordings by, amongst others, Tord Gustavsen, Trygve Seim, Mathias Eick, Nils Økland, Wolfert Brederode and Jakob Young and has long maintained several projects of his own, including this trio, now in its 15th year of existence. And Then Comes The Night was recorded at Lugano’s Audiotorio Stelio Molo and Eilertsen, drummer Thomas Strønen, and the amazing pianist Harmen Fraanje make full use of the range of the trioformat, sidestepping many of the conventions of trio playing,
