'Revisited' is a hybrid of studio and concert recordings from the acclaimed Norwegian pianist/composer Helge Lien and his trio

Miraculously, however, you can't hear the hybrid nature of the source material. All tracks blend into a cohesive, 50- minute piece: There are no sounds from the audience and the studio takes feel as urgent as the live performances.

After the departure of Frode Berg (after 'Guzuguzu') and Per Oddvar Johansen (after '10'), Helge Lien had to re-think and re-assemble his trio. All the while, he continued to record and (virtually) perform you could call it improvisation squared.

The courage has paid off: The new formation - Johannes Eick joining on bass alongside the returning Knut Aalefjaer on drums - arrived at interpretations which felt like a look back and a fresh departure all at once: This is not a revolution, it's passion under the microscope.
