The three quickly discovered a special musical chemistry and began to interpret music of trios they admired like Esbjorn Svensson Trio, Avishai Cohen, Tigran Hamasyan and Keith Jarrett. Developing their sound around these influences, they started to work on original compositions of the pianist and bandleader, Simon Denizart.
