The Joshua Trinidad Trio recently signed to RareNoise Records in the UK/Italy. They recorded their record in Giske Norway in the world renowned Ocean Sound Studios. The project was engineered by Henning Svoren. The name of the new release is “In November”. While the album explores a variety of sounds, the Trio takes the listener on a journey that reflects the pilgrimage that these three gentlemen explored while recording in the northern region of Norway.
The Joshua Trinidad Trio is truly a unique group of musicians that only comes along once in a lifetime. Denver-based trumpeter-composer Joshua Trinidad makes a strikingly original statement on his RareNoise Records debut, In November. Recorded in Giske, Norway, this highly evocative trio outing features the adventurous Norwegian guitarist-composer and ECM recording artist Jacob Young and drummer Stale Liavik Solberg, a central figure on Oslo’s improvising music scene. Brimming with deep and winding lyricism, Trinidad’s elegiac seventh album as a leader is a compelling mix of bold long tones on trumpet, atmospheric guitaristry, fluid melodic invention and daring group improv, all delivered with rare authority by the three intrepid improvisers. From the minor key rubato opener “Beside” to the melancholy soundscape “Bell (Hymn)” to a darkly entrancing “The Attic” and the stirring title track, Trinidad and his empathetic crew of deep listeners show respect toward space and silence on these spellbinding noirish numbers.”
