Stefan Aeby Trio - Fairy Circus (February 11, 2022 music today)

The fifth album of this longtime working band, recorded at a piano-tuner's workshop in Liestal, Switzerland, in August 2021.

Playing the first concerts after a loooong time, the trio worked on the new repertoire during a week long Résidence at 'Live in Vevey' in spring 2021. A couple of concerts and months later, they invited Sound Wizzard Tobias Stritt to record them in a live setting at René Waldhauser's Klavierwerkstatt.

The album was mixed and mastered at bassist André Pousaz' Pousaz Sound Lab beginning of 2022.

Visual Artist Baptiste Cochard accepted the invitation to create the beautiful artwok of 'Fairy Circus'.
