Improvising pianist Ayumi Tanaka moved to Oslo from Japan ten years ago, in search of Norway’s creative music scene. She met the distinguished drummer Per Oddvar Johansen and the distinctive bassist Christian Meaas Svendsen shortly after arriving in Norway. They have since struck up a unique rapport in developing their musical language together into more of a chamber ensemble than a jazz piano trio: ‘We share a flow of energy, even in silence,’ she says.
