Triosence is a premier German contemporary jazz trio that has carved out a specific niche within the European 'lyrical jazz' movement. Founded in 1999 by pianist Bernhard Schüler, the group's identity is built on the concept of 'trio-essence,' a democratic approach where piano, bass, and drums share equal melodic and structural importance.
Their sound is characterized by a high degree of melodic clarity, often drawing from folk, world music, and pop sensibilities, which has led to significant commercial success in both Germany and Japan. Evolutionarily, the group has maintained a consistent aesthetic of 'song-oriented' jazz even as the rhythm section has changed, with Omar Rodriguez Calvo (of the Tingvall Trio) joining on bass in later years to further solidify their rhythmic sophistication. Critical consensus views them as a bridge between the intellectual rigor of modern jazz and the accessibility of melodic contemporary music. t.) for their ability to modernize the trio format, though Triosence generally maintains a warmer, more optimistic tonal palette.
