Aseo Trio
On 19 April, the Aseo Trio will present their new album Wu Wei & The Art Of Living at Het Witte Paard in Rotterdam.The Aseo Trio is a modern groove jazz ensemble. Band leader Aseo Friesacher has passionately devoted himself to composing original music, developing a distinctive musical identity that seamlessly blends jazz with influences from world music. Inspired by modern jazz, classical traditions, and the rich musical heritage of countries such as Japan, India, and the Middle East, the trio creates an engaging fusion that transcends genres.Known for his refined touch and enchanting harmonies, Aseo, together with his trio, delivers an innovative and deeply expressive sound experience that, as some would say, redefines contemporary jazz.
