With two four-star reviews by John Fordham in The Guardian mentioning “one of Europe’s most exciting ensembles”, Vein Jazz Trio’s CD Release Tour in the UK including St. Ives, Grimsby, Newcastle, Liverpool, Manchester, London and Birmingham could only go well. Since Vein – Michael Arbenz (piano), Thomas Lähns (bass) and Florian Arbenz (drums) – was founded, it has regularly joined forces with guest musicians such as Greg Osby and Dave Liebman in horizon-expanding projects. With its new studio album Jazz Talk, Vein straddles the landscape from jazz standards to original compositions and pure improvisation.
