PRE-ORDER: Mark Priore Trio - Lux Divina [CD]

A record at the crossroads of jazz, Baroque and traditional European music, featuring yrical piano, thunderous double bass and incandescent drums. Three years after Initio -- which earned the Charles Cros Academy's "Coup de Coeur" and the Jazz Academy's "Prix Évidence," and led to Mark Priore's nomination for "Revelation of the Year" at the 2024 Victoires du Jazz -- the Mark Priore Trio unveils its second album, Lux Divina. Conceived as a journey -- a thirteen-track suite spanning from an initial omen ("Ante Lux") to a final act ("Lux Divina") -- the record charts a resilient path toward the light, deeply rooted in jazz history and enriched by Baroque and European traditional music. Balancing spirited energy with poetic grace, the trio demonstrates a rare musical rapport: Mark Priore's lyrical piano, Juan Villarroel's earth-shaking double bass, and Elie Martin-Charrière's incandescent drumming. It is an ambitious, humanist, and truly stirring suite.
