European Jazz Trio - Orange City

Review by Adelajda Król

The European Jazz Trio's album Orange City is a delightful and refreshing compilation of jazz tunes. The trio, comprising Marc van Roon on piano, Frans van der Hoeven on double bass, and Roy Dackus on drums, has created an album that is both technically sound and emotionally evocative.

The album's opening track, "Orange City," sets the tone for the rest of the album. The melody is catchy and upbeat, and the musicianship is impressive. The trio's chemistry is evident as they effortlessly weave in and out of solos, creating a cohesive sound that is both intricate and accessible.

Tracks like "Blues for Miro" and "Tango for T" showcase the trio's ability to play with different styles and moods. The former is a bluesy number that is both soulful and playful, while the latter is a sultry and romantic tango that oozes sensuality.

The album's standout track, however, is "Nostalgia." The slow and melancholic melody is hauntingly beautiful, and the trio's performance is nothing short of breathtaking. The track showcases the trio's emotional depth and their ability to convey complex emotions through their music.
