Norwegian trumpeter Arve Henriksen and Dutch pianist Harmen Fraanje join us for an evening of spellbinding music, drawn from their impeccable debut duo album Touch of Time.
An initial performance in 2019 to mark ECM’s 50th anniversary proved to be the spark for an ongoing and fruitful partnership. Delicate melodies and textures flow between two musicians who are deeply in tune with nuances of tone-shadings and the detailed development of a musical idea.
In both freely improvised forms and carefully wrought themes, their instruments connect gracefully, picking up and finishing each other’s phrases.
“Few trumpeters over the last two decades have developed such an instantly recognizable personality.”
