An impressive and moving debut statement by the Swedish drummer and composer, she performs in two trio formations (both with her Swedish compatriot and bassist Daniel Franck).

One session features the brilliant American pianist Aaron Parks, the other the Hungarian tenor titan Gabor Bolla. Nilsson brought a number of originals to both recording sessions and selected some personal favorites as covers that she felt would suit the groups' sound and personality.

"Making an album of my music symbolizes a turning point in my life. Music has lifted me up countless times, and I wanted that to shine through. To express everything honestly and transparently - the explosiveness, the fragility, the ugliness, the raw and also the softer things," says Cornelia. It's a stunning debut and with her two world-class trios, Cornelia Nilsson shows us that her moment has arrived.
