From Goethe Institut:

For more than 10 years the European Music Festival has been an important cultural bridge between Europe and Vietnam and it stands for musical diversity on the highest level. This year as the German contribution, the jazz band Tingvall Trio from Hamburg is performing on stage.

The Tingvall Trio has remained unchanged since 2003: Swedish pianist Martin Tingvall, double-bass player Omar Rodriguez Calvo from Cuba and German drummer Jürgen Spiegel. The interplay between the three different countries of origin gives the band a unique individuality. The trio has recently released its fifth studio album “Beat”. Between Nordic melodies and harmonies, the rocking rhythm of the drummer and the pulsing Cuban heartbeat explain the success story of the band.

Performances in well over twenty countries have triggered an enthusiastic resonance in specialist magazines like Jazzwise (UK) or Jazz Life (Japan). The Tingvall Trio has built up an audience which reaches far beyond the circles of jazz purists, mainly as a result of not shying away from popular music. The Tingvall Trio has twice been awarded the prestigious ECHO Jazz award in the category “Ensemble of the Year”, in 2010 and 2012. For selling more than 10,000 copies of the album “Norr” the trio received its third German Jazz Award in Gold in 2013. The ensemble is considered to be one of the top European jazz acts.

Tingvall Trio will hold a workshop in Hanoi for the young musicians of “JumpForJazz”, a talent-promoting project of Nguyen Bao Long, and will play a jam session with them in the courtyard of the Goethe Institute on 27th November. On the following two days the Tingvall Trio will perform concerts as part of the European Music Festival: on 28th November in Hanoi together with „JumpForJazz“ and 29th November in HCMC.
