Acrobat trio
Acrobat: British/Scandinavian contemporary organ trio from London, consisting of:
Pat Davey (UK) drums
Will Bartlett (UK/DE) hammond organ
Kristian Borring (DK/AUS) guitar
A well balanced and highly democratic unit who bring a contemporary
slant to the jazz organ combo. An absorbing album that delivers some
excellent playing from all three protagonists.. joyous, invigorating..
fluent and absorbing. They’ve been compared Larry Goldings, Peter Bernstein and Bill Stewart...the world’s premier exponents of the jazz organ trio format...and it’s a comparison that suits Acrobat well.
