Mozdzer, Leszek; Danielsson, Lars; Fresco, Zohar - Beamo CD

Leszek Możdżer, Lars Danielsson, and Zohar Fresco celebrate 20 years as one of jazz’s most celebrated trios with Beamo—an album that reaffirms their artistry while boldly venturing into new tonal territory. Central to this groundbreaking work is Możdżer’s use of three differently tuned pianos (A = 440 Hz, A = 432 Hz, and a decaphonic scale), reshaping traditional tonality into something intriguingly unstable yet profoundly beautiful. Danielsson’s double bass and viola da gamba weave these tonalities into a cohesive, resonant whole, while Fresco’s intricate rhythms glisten with depth and brilliance. Rooted in their signature European lyricism, Beamo blends classical elegance with experimental innovation, creating a soundscape that is both mysterious and familiar—a transformative journey in contemporary jazz.
