neu-mann A sensuous Scandinavian daydream of tropical breezes and gently swaying palm trees, but with a deeper undercurrent of moody disillusion flowing just below the tideline. Favorite track: Love.

nerrik Truly a one-of-a kind album to me. I love exotica, but this group definitely brings out the "Noir" part in their name. As a piano player I especially like the tone and the dynamic attention to all the ornaments. It complements the other instruments well. I look forward to any possible future releases.

On their self-titled debut album, Mambo Noir Trio brings together the resonance of dark exotica and sway of 60´s latin jazz into the melodic timbre of the Swedish archipelago.

Recorded live in Matti Bye’s Studio Barnängen, fittingly located in the Hammarby harbour in Stockholm, the album features nine tracks of sure-handedly improvised music for piano, percussion and vibraphone. From the Manciniesque opening track “Noir” to the shifting lullaby mood of “Fin” that bookend the record through the waltzy “Clouds”, the music and dramaturgy unfold, painting slow seductive circles of faintly recognizable memories.

Mambo Noir Trio treats its source material with a tentative playfulness that allows vibraphone timbres time to diffuse and roll out, while double bass loops keep the musical movement grounded. This approach is somewhat reminiscent of the American composer and “father of exotica” Martin Denny, with the harmonic nuances and melodic accessibility of jazz pianist Jan Johansson. Rhythmically the record brings to mind the bluesy, freewheeling sound of the Ethiopian singer, pianist and nun Emahoy Tsegue´-Maryam Guebrou.
