Multi-award-winning British saxophonist Andy Sheppard, and the Norwegian masters of melody, Espen Eriksen Trio, is a partnership that has resulted in international tours and an acclaimed album. Espen’s trio is a tight unit with a dazzling use of dynamics, ranging from melancholic moods to hypnotic grooves and an almost telepathic level of interplay.  

With a career spanning over four decades, working with the likes of George Russell, Gil Evans and Carla Bley, Andy Sheppard is truly one of Europe’s leading saxophonists and composers. Expect absorbing and uplifting music from superb musicians at the top of their game.
