• 26-year old pianist Carl Winther is one of the fine young talents that the Danish jazz scene is producing these days. He is joined on this new album by Swedish bassist Joel Illerhag and Danish drummer Anders Mogensen - all graduates of the Rhythmic Conservatory in Copenhagen (although Mogensen was there around 20 years before the others). In 2010, they toured Europe and USA and recorded a CD ‘Red Alert’.

• On ‘Sonic Shapes’ the trio joins forces with Boston-based Jerry Bergonzi, one of the great saxophone influences of the last 35 years, who has often worked in Denmark, including two albums with drummer Alex Riel’s ( both also on Stunt).

• This is not your usual European trio borrowing a little stardust from an American legend. Bergonzi is very enthusiastic about the collaboration, and the inspiration goes both ways.

• The two bandleaders each contribute half of the compositions. The musicians represent three generations playing music rooted in sharp, no-nonsense, modern New York jazz. This music isn’t afraid to groove or flex its muscles. Carl Winther is the son of trumpeter Jens Winther.
