The Daniel Sueiro Trio explores the road paved by the great jazz piano trios from the past, using this vast and rich musical language as a springboard for their own creativity and self- expression. Founded in 2021 in The Hague, The Netherlands, by pianist Daniel Sueiro, bassist Arjun Ramdas, and drummer Nikiforos Bournousouzis, the trio believes it is their responsibility as jazz artists to explore and share with the audience the beauty hidden within this vast pool of musical knowledge. At the same time, they are looking into the present and adding their own vision and personal touch to the music. Some of their major contemporary references include Benny Green, Bill Charlap, Dan Nimmer, Mike LeDonne or Emmet Cohen.

​

The intimacy fostered by the small setting of the piano trio allows them to focus on the interplay between the three instruments, on interlocking and sounding as one single voice, as well as on playing with empty space and letting the music breathe. They develop and explore the full potential of the piano, conceived in an orchestral way, featuring passages that range from very minimalistic textures to a full, almost big band- like sound, all supported to the millimeter by the precise, subtle, and solid foundation provided by bass and drums.

​

They present a repertoire that seamlessly transitions from carefully arranged standards and pieces by legendary jazz artists, to original compositions by all trio members. The blend of all of them creates a colorful and coherent sound mosaic that leads the audience into a journey through a wide range of moods, grooves, and textures, from intimate introspective ballads to burning fast numbers, including some rhythms rooted in the Afro Cuban and Latin American traditions. Careful attention to detail and nuance, looking for a balanced and elegant sound, and delivering a deep groovy swing feel and bouncy quality to the music, are at the very core of what the trio is seeking to achieve as a group.
