This album follows “A New Episode In Life Pt. I,” which was released previously this year. The album was recorded spontaneously after Part I only took one day to record instead of the planned two. Included in this release are free-form improvisation pieces from jazz masters as well as some jazz standards. Jasper Somsen writes: “In May 2016, Challenge Records’ general director Anne de Jonge and I discussed a new international trio album recording, featuring Andre Ceccarelli, one of my favorite drummers… Searching for a pianist, Jean-Michel Pilc’s wonderful music, solo piano and piano trio performances struck me as lightning. Although it actually took me some time to decide, from the very first moment I was already convinced I wanted him to join us…They instantly agreed to recrd the album. It was pretty exciting, since the trio never performed together…”
