Carl Winter has certainly inherited the blood of his father, the great Danish trumpeter Jens Winter, who died in 2011. Since then, Carl has become increasingly active as the leading young jazz pianist in Denmark. Like before he assembles a trio; made up of bassist Johnny Åman, replacing Joel Illerhag, and drummer Anders Mogensen; that is augmented by the presence of renowned and equally in demand tenorist Jerry Bergonzi. This time the quartet as formed in the previous work "Sonic Shapes" has evolved into a regular band, and while expanding its activities in Europe and the United States, it ushered itself forth into the Boston PBS Studios in late 2012 to record this album, and the following year it was released on the Danish ‘stunt’ label. As before, well-placed in this formation the master saxophonist’s exhilarating contribution runs unabated. Both players apart from their excellent musicianship are top-notch composers, with Carl penning seven and Jerry the remaining two compositions. As a result, this veteran tenor player and up-and-coming pianist's passionate encounter has exceled to create yet again a fine example of the next generation of vibrant jazz, enjoy!
