Helge Lien Trio
Pianist Helge Lien has, with nine record releases and intense concert activity around the world with his trio, established himself in the international top class.




In the spring of 2017, the trio's ninth record came out. In his review on jazzinorge.no, Terje Mosnes wrote that the album is "...a revelation of strong songs and brilliant communication". And this is how he concludes: "A lasting delight for the eyes and mind, this." Such enthusiasm is consistent with everyone who has reviewed the record, and everyone who has heard the trio in free expression on the concert stage is fully aware that none of them exaggerate. The trio is actually world class. The world's largest jazz website All About Jazz places the Helge Lien Trio right at the top together with Brad Mehldau, Esbjørn Svensson and Bill Evans when it comes to mastering "The Art of the Trio".
A concert with the Helge Lien Trio is an exuberant emergence of beautiful lyricism, intense swing and impressionistic sound sculptures!
