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.
