Aurum Trio: Rebecca Nash- piano; Henrik Jensen- double bass; Dave Smith- drums
Rebecca Nash’s new trio, Aurum (meaning gold in Latin) is a bold statement of intent —where raw energy and deep musicality collide. Inspired by the curious tale of the sunken treasure ship The Merchant Royal, this band inhabit a rebellious, darkly futuristic universe.
Nash’s ethereal melodies and densely saturated harmonies, along with Smith’s punk-spirited restless drumming and Jensen’s warm resonant tones, plunge listeners into a shadowy, realm that evoke the mystery of the ocean seabed.
“Nash is at the vanguard of innovative and compelling new music” - Downbeat
“Jensen is thoughtful, richly chordal and attractively Charlie Haden-like on the bass” - John Fordham, The Guardian.
“Drummer Dave Smith exhibited a mastery of irresistible rhythms” LA TIMES – Randy Lewis
