In celebration of the release of The Gentle War, their second Naim Jazz album, Trichotomy issue Chase, as a free Hi Def download!
The Gentle War is the superb new album from Australian piano trio Trichotomy and the follow-up to the band's critically acclaimed Naim Jazz debut Variations. Recorded shortly after the band's UK tour early last year it finds the lauded trio in especially dynamic form and while their music could be compared to the likes of EST or The Bad Plus, Foran also cites his time here as an influence on the music - and not just our beer, but bands such as label mates Neil Cowley Trio, John Taylor and Acoustic Ladyland - but The Gentle War is very much the sound of a band developing their own unique sound.
The Gentle War finds the band happily building on the success of Variations but is more tightly focused on the trio itself. Mixed by Brent Sigmeth (The Bad Plus) the album brings a rockier edge to the mix but without compromising on the beauty of the piano sound. It's an aural reflection of the band's music, what one critic called their ‘juxtaposition of aggresiveness and tenderness'.
