Gilfema Three

Prior to Three, guitarist Lionel Loueke, bassist Massimo Biolcati and drummer Ferenc Nemeth hadn t released an album as the cooperative trio Gilfema since 2008, despite the continued collaboration as Blue Note recording artists under the moniker of the Lionel Loueke Trio. Three is both a testament to the band s progress and an expression of the core principles that made Gilfema so buzzed-about when they premiered over a decade ago. It s the trio s most vibrant, groove-heavy meld of jazz and world influences yet.
