  • Description

    'First Light' is a personal album that summarises more than two decades of musical experience. It is the result of a longer process, a search for a distinctive musical expression. It contains mostly original compositions by pianist Michael Bloch, and it is Bloch's first recording as a leader.

    This recording represents the first version of this musical vision. It emphasises the lyrical aspect, but also contains elements of hard-swinging jazz. The melodic and virtuosic piano style of Bloch, is well matched by the sophisticated and sensitive drumming of Anders Thorén. All of this is tied together by bass player Frode Berg, who is taking the music to an even higher level with his steady accompaniment and brilliant tone.

    Personnel: Michael Bloch (piano), Frode Berg (bass), Anders Thorén (drums)
