During a recent visit to the Faroe Islands, Espen Berg Trio played a series of concerts and captured a special live performance at Finsen in Tórshavn.

We're pleased to share this live rendition of "Transients", taken from the trio's latest album, Entropies (2026). Recorded in a beautifully reverberant space, the performance highlights the group's intricate interplay, with shifting polyrhythms resonating throughout the room.

"The wealth of nuances that unfolds throughout Entropies highlights Espen Berg’s artistry. His ability to create atmospheres that continuously transform remains exceptional." - great review of Espen Berg Trio´s new album in Citizen Jazz!🤩

"The haunting sensuality of Sting’s “Russians” and the delicate balancing act at the heart of “Equilibrium Suite, Pt. 2” allow this radiant music to flourish. Released on the young label Svale Records, Entropies stands as a vivid testament to the trio’s creative vision and musical mastery."
