Live in Japan

After two weeks in Japan, Lana Trio arrived back in Norway with new impressions of the country far away from the comfortable north. During their time there they used this input in their concerts, contributing to the already scorching, energetic Lana Trio sound. Several of the concerts were recorded, but the gig at Jazzspot Candy was the ultimate Live in Japan album. Stylistically, the music of Lana Trio is closely related to so-called free improvisation and free Jazz. However, labeling the music as one style is not enough, as it also contains traces of what they hear and have heard; both popular and unpopular music. Live in Japan was recorded at Jazzspot Candy in Chiba outside of Tokyo, a small venue brimming with Jazz history, and contains both sets from that night in the order they were played. Lana Trio is: Kjetil Jerve (piano); Henrik Munkeby Norstebo (trombone); Andreas Wildhagen (drums).
