STORY: This music is recorded as a part of a teaching program; SOREN NORBO - EAR TRAINING 1 – 15.

Bergeries is placed as EAR TRAINING 1. The reason for this is, that I think the user of this ear training material, should have a chance to hear how I express myself as a composer, musician and improviser - with my favorite band. 

Review

”This splashy, exultant piano trio from Denmark are characterised by quick wits and keen ears. As in free jazz, there's no gap between thought and response, but the mood is less driven by angst than irrepressible, bubbling high spirits.
The star turn, however, is Django Bates, who plays french horn with astonishing agility, and consistently pushes the music beyond the bounds of respectability. It's seriously funny and funnily serious by turn” Alan Brownlee, Manchester Evening News

Review

...their interplay is closely and dependently linked as listeners as much as players. Whether presenting each other open doors for various tempo changes, harmonic expansions, or modal explorations of themes, a continuous sense of dissection and evolution is maintained from one tune to the next.
