PULSE TRIO: The End Is The Beginning (HOOB Records)
An album based on the Northern European jazz tradition with influences from classical, popular and folk music. The creative driving force of the trio that released their debut album is Latvian drummer Pauls Pokratnieks, who lives in Sweden and has joined forces with Swedish keyboardist Fabian Kallerdahl and Finnish double bassist Olli Rantala. Melodic and spirit-free contemporary jazz, which makes this trio to keep in mind.
