Adi Stoenescu Trio is the latest formula within which pianist Adi Stoenescu explores the fluid environment of contemporary jazz. In the past, many other jazz artists were part of the trio, including Mihail Ivanov (double bass, Bulgaria), Alessandro D’Anna (drums, Italy), Jonathan Bäckström (double bass, Finland) and Iulian Nicolau (drums, Romania). The current line-up, with Alex Marin on bass and Iulian Nicolau on drums is organised around more recent compositions with a few additions from the album “Waking Light” released by Adi Stoenescu Group in November 2021.

The compositions are an occasion for interplay, for a music in a freer form, that develops live, like a conversation among friends. As proof of the power of jazz to bring together musicians from different counties and musical contexts, Adi Stoenescu Trio proposes a sound open to influences and interpretation, that builds itself different each time they are on stage.
