Under The Surface

As a trio, Under the surface has been a welcome guest at Blue Note ClubSessions for years; for the live presentation of their new album Miin Triuwa, the band will perform in an especially large line-up. Since the formation of Under The Surface in 2015, the band has garnered international success.

From Africa to South America, Asia, the Middle East to the far corners of Europe, the trio plays to sold-out venues everywhere. Inspired by the many travels and cultures the group encountered, they developed a unique improvisational language, a combination between jazz, folk, ethnic and electronic music. With Miin Triuwa, Under The Surface embarks on a new musical journey with compositions by guitarist Bram Stadhouders. He wrote a suite of eight pieces in which the characters and qualities of the band members rise above themselves.

The ever-changing improvisations that characterise the group are now captured in a solid musical statement showing what the band stands for. Instead of travelling to other worlds, the group turned inwards with this project, exploring how their own roots influence their music. This will be certainly a mesmerising performance.
