With "JUF", the band "TROJA" (Peter Zihlmann, piano; Patrick Sommer, bass; Tobias Friedli, drums) presents their second album, surging with strong compositions and remarkable interplay. Without special effects or copious hoopla - comparable to a Trojan - their music steadily captures the listener. The three musicians are completely committed to the song, which is both the central base and the starting point for their musical tales. Sometimes the music seems to soar, then its dense, down to earth and high-energy passages are followed by almost chamber music-like and intimate folk sequences. Be it a sequence with a touch of melancholy or a "free" passage with a wink, one clear constant (of their music) is the audible enjoyment this trio has while playing, which intrigues the audience to share in the experience.
