MOZ Trio

Swedish drummer Martina Almgren and electric bass player Owe Almgren form a colourful trio together with British pianist Zoe Rahman. MOZ Trio is a meeting place for three highly expressive and imaginative musicians on the contemporary Swedish and British jazz scene. All three musicians provide musical material that melodically and rhythmically varies from soft ballads to more passionate and bubbly songs. The debut album "Sparkling Water, Please" was recorded and mixed in London November 2012 by sound engineer Åke Linton.

Zoe Rahman, winner of the MOBO award 2012 for best Jazz Act, is one of the brightest stars on the contemporary British jazz scene. Her latest album “Kindred Spirits” featuring her brother Idris Rahman and Courtney Pine garnered universal critical acclaim.

As leaders of Martina Almgren Quartet and Oh Yeah Orchestra, Owe and Martina Almgren are described as a colourful addition to the Swedish jazz elite. Owe Almgren can be heard solo on the album ”basically low key” and with BarT featuring Jim Beard. Martina Almgren´s passion for playful improvisation, enticing rhythms and expressive melodies reflects her drumming as well as her compositions. She was comissioned to compose the suite "Freedom of Movement" for Swedish Jazz Celebration 2009.
