Jetse de Jong Trio - Prana

Review by Steve Portigal

The Jetse de Jong Trio's album, Prana, is a captivating and dynamic musical journey that showcases the trio's exceptional musicality and creativity. The album is a seamless blend of traditional jazz elements and contemporary influences, resulting in a refreshing and unique sound.

The album's opening track, "Prana," sets the tone with its intricate rhythms and energetic melodies. The trio's tight interplay and improvisational skills are on full display in this track and throughout the album. "Samsara" is another standout track, featuring a beautiful and emotive piano solo by Jetse de Jong.

The trio's use of unconventional instruments, such as the cajón and the hang drum, add an extra layer of depth and texture to the music. This is particularly evident in "Satori," a track that features a hauntingly beautiful hang drum melody.
