Prior to Three, guitarist Lionel Loueke, bassist Massimo Biolcati and drummer Ferenc Nemeth hadn’t released an album as the cooperative trio Gilfema since 2008, despite the continued collaboration as Blue Note recording artists under the moniker of the Lionel Loueke Trio. Three is both a testament to the band’s progress and an expression of the core principles that made Gilfema so buzzed-about when they premiered over a decade ago. It’s the trio’s most vibrant, groove-heavy meld of jazz and world influences yet.
