John Law - Art of Sound Trio

 This threesome is generally considered to be one of the most creative ensembles of the moment.

 John Law's Art Of Sound Trio is able to merge traditional as well as modern piano jazz in both a sublime and a surprising way. Also, the wide-ranged dynamics and subtle sounds of pianist John Law, bassist Yuri Goloubev and drummer Asaf Sirkis can vary from romantic ballads to powerful rock compositions.
 
Law already played for an audience at the age of six, and studied at the Royal Academy of Music in London. But it wasn't until an advanced course in Vienna that he came into contact with jazz music.
 
At the North Sea Jazz Festival, the Brit was joined by his Art Of Sound Project, with which he has recorded four albums. For this project, his trio had crafted the technically perfect, complex structures into a melodious, low-threshold and even catchy sound. Listen to the subtle sound effects; they make the overall experience even more intriguing.
 
John Law, a classically trained pianist and composer, keeps his own counsel on the UK jazz scene, pursuing a distinctive agenda that has moved over the years from contemporary-classical/improv explorations, through more lyrical music with hints of Brad Mehldau, and lately to the borders of an amiable funkiness, and a little exploration of other composers' tunes. He has performed at over 50 festivals worldwide and made over 25 recordings.
 
Yuri Goloubev works with ECM artist Klaus Gesing and in Gwilym Simcock's trio and Asaf Sirkis has played with Gilad Atzmon, Tim Garland, Larry Coryell, Gwilym Simcock.
 
“So full of joy that it can renew your faith not just in jazz, but music itself.” Phil Johnson, Independent on Sunday 2011
