4. Yannic Seddiki Trio – E-life (2020)

This album is about this abyss between current possibilities and their implementation. Sheer сommunication is not always what we need and what we count on. Nevertheless, each of us has his roots that can give more answers than he or she suppose. Yannic Seddiki with his friends are searching for such things and they succeed.

🇮🇹 Italian double bass player Dario Piccioni makes the sounding of piano trio unexpectedly unusual. The point is the double bass gets a lead role, and thus the structure of the composition changes substantially.
