New record

The Dutch cellist Ernst Reijseger is a true phenomenon. He became famous in the legendary Clusone trio and with numerous other international projects, including many for the films of the German director Werner Herzog.

One of his most controversial trios is the collaboration with the lyrical pianist Harmen Fraanje and the Senegalese vocalist / percussionist Mola Sylla. Together they have already released two highly acclaimed albums on the renowned label Winter & Winter. This third throw also promises to be a musically frenzied and virtuoso party. "The perfect fusion of jazz, African songs and classical music," says North Sea Jazz.
