"It's amazing how a musician with this age (22) can display such a musical maturity. We prefer to hear him in the more challenging compositions, but the more classic passages in turn ensure a well-made contrast. The Netherlands clearly has a new talent."

About the album

The Floris Kappeyne Trio was set up in 2015 by the pianist. In the past two years, the trio consisting of separate Prinses Christina Concours winners (2012) has made audiences smile with their witty arrangements of old jazz standards. During the last year, the trio has worked on achieving an authentic conception by combining the classic sound of the McCoy Tyner trio from the sixties with Senegalese sabar rhythms and abstract ideas from modern classical music. The result is presented on this debut-album consisting solely of original compositions.

Das Floris Kappeyne Trio wurde 2015 durch den Pianisten gegründet. In den letzten zwei Jahren hat das Trio, das sich aus Gewinnern des Prinses Christina Concours (2012) zusammensetzt, seinen Hörern mit seinen gewitzten Arrangements alter Jazzstandards immer wieder ein Lächeln ins Gesicht gezaubert. Im letzten Jahr hat das Ensemble an einem individuellen Konzept gearbeitet, indem es den klassischen Sound des McCoy Tyner Trios aus den Sechzigern mit senegalesischen sabar-Rhythmen und abstrakten Ideen aus zeitgenössischer klassischer Musik verband. Das Ergebnis präsentieren die Musiker nun auf diesem Debüt-Album voller Eigenkompositionen.

Floris Kappeyne (piano)

Floris Kappeyne (1995) started playing the piano at an early age together with his father; Floris playing the left hand and his father the right. Floris received his first piano lessons in Singapore, from a jazz pianist who played in the local hotels. Back in the Netherlands, he started playing in jazz bands and taking lessons with some of the greatest pianists in the country. While studying both jazz and classical piano at the Conservatory of Amsterdam, Floris is discovering the common ground between the two styles.

Wouter Kühne (drums)

Wouter Kühne (1996) was born into a musical environment, with both parents being professional musicians. He was exposed to jazz for the first time when his dad was playing one of his favourite John Coltrane records in the car. Having absorbed the history of jazz as a teenager, he started developing further on his instrument. It wasn’t long before he found himself sharing the stage with the greats of the Dutch jazz scene. Inspired by his heroes, Wouter pursues the ability to speak through the drums in a way which comes the closest to speaking to his friends and family in daily life.

Tijs Klaassen (bass)

Tijs Klaassen (1993) began his musical life at an early age by playing bass-guitar in rock bands. His love for improvisation led him to the Conservatory of Amsterdam where he found his true voice by switching to the double bass as his main instrument. Playing in the jazz tradition, searching for an authentic sound and analyzing jazz and classical compositions is what inspires him the most. He aspires to be a solid sideman as well as a developed composer and bandleader.

These are all promising youngsters: pianist Floris Kappeyne (1995), bassist Tijs Klaassen (1993) and drummer Wouter Kühne (1996). And already this debut album by a acknowledged label
Jazzbulletin, 01-9-2017

Wouter Kühne (21) is one of the biggest jazz drum promises of this moment.
Jazzbulletin, 01-9-2017

An extremely successful debut of this young trio and that in a jazz world in which it revives piano trio, very good!
Rootstime, 18-8-2017

On Interchange, Kappeynes search has proved to be the result of a fairly conventional piano jazz with a contemporary approach. A conscious choice, exquisitely executed.
Het Parool, 18-7-2017

Kappeyne, Kühne and Klaassen are not only a trio but also individually an enormous promise for the future.
