Drummer Kendrick Scott and bassist Alexander Claffy join rising-star Danish pianist Rasmus Sørensen

Drummer Kendrick Scott and bassist Alexander Claffy join rising-star Danish pianist Rasmus Sørensen for the release of a special trio project - Balancing Act - recorded in true jazz spirit in the heart of New York City.


Timeless repertoire and intricate originals combine in a piano trio session which captures the tradition of years gone by: three players meeting in a studio to produce music which somehow sounds as if they spent a lifetime together.


Sørensen relocated to New York City in 2018 to pursue his studies at the Manhattan School of Music on a full-tuition scholarship and within five years had proved himself as a compelling creative force, playing alongside some of the scene's most reputable musicians and performing his original compositions in some of the world's most revered jazz clubs.


In line with New York's fast paced spirit, the session with Claffy and Scott was set up, planned and recorded within a matter of days, with the musicians meeting on the day and spending just three hours together in the studio.


It's something of a rite of passage for pianists to showcase their treatment of classic jazz repertoire; Sørensen chose a selection of Great American Songbook classics and a lesser-known Coltrane number for this, his sophomore album. Alongside a handful of originals, the recording with two veterans of New York's prestigious scene is a masterclass in energetic, spontaneous, playful and exciting piano trio playing.


Effortless groove, rich contemporary harmony, virtuoso improvisations, dexterous rhythmic complexity and intricate arrangements make for an adventurous and thrilling listen; the first meeting of three fearless and experienced masters of their craft.
