Ben Winkelman Trio – Second CD launch – The Spanish Tinge July 5, 2007

Following their critically acclaimed debut album and 2 extensive national tours, the Ben Winkelman Trio launches its second CD The Spanish Tinge.

A unique and innovative take on the jazz piano trio, the Ben Winkelman Trio blends diverse influences which range from Afro-Cuban and Brazilian music to stride piano and Jelly Roll Morton’s “Spanish tinge”.

**** "Here, the Melbourne pianist cooks up a bouillabaisse of flavours including stride, tango, Latin and Afro-Cuban rhythms. The presentation is tightly drilled but the music zings with an electricity of counterpoint and ideas popping up everywhere. More please.”
Leon Gettler, The Age Green Guide, May 3, 2007

Ben Winkelman – piano / Sam Anning – bass / Andrew Gander – drums
