Echo The Sun, the upcoming release from the Philippe Lemm Trio, is an evocative exploration of light, warmth, and resilience, echoing the spirit of both sunrise and sunset.
Each track plays with the album’s central theme, capturing the dance between shadow and light, growth and reflection. The trio’s interplay shines with spontaneity and emotional depth, evoking a sunrise’s gentle optimism and the sun’s setting glow.
Rooted in jazz yet inspired by world rhythms, Echo The Sun celebrates the beauty of fleeting moments and the cyclical nature of time, all while illuminating the trio’s masterful command over harmony and improvisation. Echo The Sun speaks to the listener’s heart, celebrating resilience through life’s ups and downs, and radiating warmth even in introspective moments. This album is a sonic embrace for anyone journeying through light and shadow alike.
The Philippe Lemm Trio, "Winner of the International B-Jazz Competition and Winner of Best Solist Prize. The Philippe Lemm Trio is continually proving to be one of the most exciting and electrifying jazz trio's around today. Led at the helm by drummer Philippe Lemm, the group met in New York in 2011, and after one session together, realized that their undeniable chemistry was one that needed to be taken and shared with the world.
Comprised of three musicians with exceptional command of their instruments, the group's repertoire draws heavily from re-imaginations of jazz standards in a way that both defies genre and corresponds to any modern jazz fan.
The group uses their trust and understanding of one another's musical tendencies to create passionate musical soundscapes, which range from traditional jazz to the progressive rock/classical-influenced music.
Hearing the trio is a special and unforgettable experience, and you will be captivated after listening to one piece."
The trio has performed on stages like:
Blue Note New York, Ronnie Scotts, North Sea Jazz Festival, Pori Jazz Festival, Bimhuis (Amsterdam),
Concertgebouw,
Getxo Festival (Bilbao),
Rockwood Musichall (New York),
Loftas (Vilnius),
Tivoli (Utrecht),
Blue Frog (Mumbai)
