LABtrio are three unique musicians with strong personalities, endowed with a fresh and adventurous approach to music. The trio’s acoustic universe conceals an urban jazz that flirts with electronic, underground and hip-hop cultures. Their music is refreshing and constantly evolving. Besides their own compositions, they alternate jazz standards with a personal twist.
Since the trio's founding in 2007, they have received several awards and prizes (incl. a superb double - Audience & Grand Prize - at the prestigious Avignon 'Tremplin Jazz' festival in 2011). Their first album 'Fluxus' (Outhere Records, 2013) - a real gem - constitutes testimony to what is the jazz of today, seen by this new generation of musicians. It is considered to be one of the best albums of 2013. 2014-2015 were two hey years for the band: they played at the renowned Umea Jazz Festival (12Points), recorded their second album ‘The Howls Are Not What They Seem’ (Outhere Records) with New Yorkers Michaël Attias & Christopher Hoffman and toured through the UK with Match&Fuse. 2016-2017 continues to do so. They have had two successful tours in 2016: the release tour of their second album, named ‘The New York Project’ and a Scandinavian tour with Harald Lassen, a great Norwegian saxophone player. On top, they were selected for showcase festival Jazzahead!. In February 2017 they celebrate their tenth anniversary in style, by touring in Europe with their third album 'Nature City'.
