Following a period of five years establishing himself and blossoming into an innovative and in-demand creative force on the New York jazz scene, 26 year old Danish pianist/composer Rasmus Sørensen returns to his home country to present his third accomplished piano trio record in two years. Combining musicianship far beyond his years with a distinctive contemporary voice, ‘At The Right Time’ is set to release on November 15th on April Records.

The record follows his 2022 debut ‘Traits’ which showcased his capabilities as a modern jazz composer and instrumentalist and 2024’s ‘Balancing Act’, which saw the rising star stretch out on American Songbook classics alongside New York bassist Alexander Claffy and celebrated drummer Kendrick Scott.

Now, in 2024, At the Right Time cements Sørensen’s position as a trailblazing voice on his instrument whilst providing subtle nods to modern jazz piano greats of the 21st Century: there’s some Fred Hersch counterpoint, Brad Mehldau-esque improvisational elasticity, Vijay Iyer influenced rhythmic cycles, a touch of Robert Glasper’s acoustic hip-hop inflection, and hints of Craig Taborn’s polytonality. 

Featuring 12 diverse original compositions, the focus of this trio is on togetherness, with which the three formidable players bring the music to life.

Jon Henriksson’s bass sound holds the trio in an enveloping warmth that seems destined to become well known to European audiences. At the drums, Francesco Ciniglio, most recently heard by those audiences as a member of Wynton Marsalis’s quartet, brings out the color, energy and movement sewn into the writing. The trio juxtaposes the feelings of being tightly locked-in and suspended in free-floating time, and spends most of its time in the best of both rhythmic worlds.
