Bento Box Trio Bento Box Trio is an acoustic trio consisting of three young jazz musicians from Norway and Iceland. Since meeting at the Jazz Conservatory in Trondheim in 2019, they have cooperated closely working with the acoustic soundscape, the unique instrumentation and with free improvisation in melodic tunes. Their music draws impulses from classical and contemporary music as well as free jazz, and the trio has already played at many of the biggest jazz scenes in Norway.
This summer the trio were finalists in Jazzintro 2022, a competition for the most promising jazz bands in Norway. There they impressed the jury with communication between the musicians, an original sound and expression and strong mediation towards the crowd.
In September 2022 they released their debut album “Boxed”, receiving good reviews describing the music as “an astonishing curiosity” Indiemusic (FR) and “an immediate pleasure” -Jazznytt (NO).
