The New Conrad Miller Trio
Wildflowers is our new and already 4th album
The title refers to a composition by Wayne Shorter on his LP ‚SPEAK NO EVIL‘ (released in 1966).
For us wildflowers have several symbolic meanings including happiness, joy, and remembrance. As a trio we had so much fun and joy while recording this album. Therefore, we hope to spread that positive energy, whenever you hear us playing live, or while listening to our album. We are all Wildflowers in our own unique way.
Enjoy!
Randy Brecker: This is a romantic set by the trio. every track strikes an emotional nerve and every track has a strong groove thatll capture your heart along with your mindreally liked this!
Jan Akkerman: A total unique style in exploring harmonical technical possibilities in a more Latin as well as a bebop approach. The themes for improvisation sound like common ground, until the trio takes off into in almost separate ways still form a unity in timing and swing. A delight for the heart, ears and soul.
Heavily swinging main stream Jazz on a high level, Con Alma is a highly attractive package - for example for friends of Tingvall or Emil Brandqvist Trio." (Rolf Thomas in JAZZTHING February/March 2020)
„Vigorously swinging… Here jazz gets ventilated!“ (Jochen Siemens in STERN 3/2018, 4/5 stars)
"Molenaar’s touch on the keys,always leaves space for the elegant bass lines and the dancing cymbals of his companions.
But finally it’s the latin tinted showpieces such as "Bossa Del Calvito“ or „No Dancing“ (the song name is a good joke) that distinguish the band from the masses of piano trios."
(Rolf Thomas in JAZZTHING February/March 2018)
„High-torque and self-confident, but never over-produced and equipped with tremendous jazz grip - a blessing“ (Gregor Poschoreck on SOULTRAINONLINE, 4/5 stars)
„A very vivid mix of styles - inspiring and pretty relaxing jazz“ (Christian Kautz on LIKEHIFI, 4/5 stars)
