Editor's Info
For more than two decades, the Tingvall Trio has been a reliable guarantee for gripping piano trio jazz with catchy melodies and powerful rhythms. Their productions have been honored eight times with the Jazz Award in gold and once in platinum. Their last album “Birds” reached No.1 in the German jazz charts and sold-out concerts throughout Europe are testimony to the popularity of the three Hamburgers-by-choice. In preparation for the new longplayer “Pax”, the trio played a concert tour of more than 20 dates at the beginning of the year, at the end of which they went straight to their favorite studio, the ARTE SUONO of sound master Stefanio Amerio in Italy. The result is an album that sounds almost as energetic but also as fragile as a live concert. Never before has the trio been captured so straightforwardly in the studio, whether in touching ballads like “A Promise” or typical TT lottery numbers like “Cruisin”.
The album title “Pax” was chosen very carefully. Martin Tingvall explains: "In a world full of unrest and increasing social polarization, it was particularly important to me to make a statement for peace with our music. With our album “Birds”, we already tried to reflect musically on the disturbing developments of our time. Since then, many things in the world have continued to change for the worse. As a musician, I don't want to stand by and watch this in silence. PAX is intended to inspire reflection, invite calm - and be a clear sign for peace."

Hej, I’m responsible for all kinds of black and white keys. I personally like different kinds of music and I hope that you can not only hear that in my songs, but also in the fantastic playing of my friends and colleagues Jürgen and Omar. Normally I compose when I am in my home country Sweden. In the little town of Snarestad in the south I have found a place of silence fo....... more
Po wielu wyprzedanych trasach koncertowych i ponad dwóch dekadach fonograficznej aktywności (osiem wielokrotnie nagradzanych studyjnych płyt plus jedna koncertowa), Tingvall Trio powraca z nową płytą. Pierwszy singiel "Cruisin’" z nadchodzącego albumu "PAX" ukazał się 20 czerwca 2025 roku – to pełen energii utwór, który oddaje charakterystyczne dla tria połączenie pełnych wigoru melodii i porywających rytmów.
Nowy album Tingvall Trio został nagrany w renomowanym włoskim studiu ARTE SUONO i oferuje rzadkie połączenie surowej energii i delikatnych emocji – od poruszających ballad, takich jak "A Promise", po hymniczne dynamity, takie jak "Cruisin’".
Tytuł albumu, "PAX", odzwierciedla jasny przekaz pianisty i kompozytora Martina Tingvalla: skupienie się na działaniach prowadzących do pokoju w burzliwych czasach. Jak sam to ujmuje: "Chciałbym, aby "PAX" miał moc inspirowania do refleksji nad światem, oferować odprężenie w miejsce ciągłego napięcia – i być jasnym przesłaniem pokoju".
