The Doppler trio's intriguing new album ARCHEAN is released by BERTHOLD records. The line up: Daniël van der Duim on piano / synthesiser, Floris-Jan van den Berg on double bass / vocals (both from Holland), and Hendrik Eichler (from Germany) on drums and tablas.

The group first met at the Arnhem Conservatory. "We were all in the same year. We played in a band together and we wanted to start a jazz trio.

We had the same vision of what kind of music we wanted to make," recalls van den Berg. The three musicians, on their new album, beguile with their atmospheric, narrative and dramatic style which incorporates odd meters as well as Indian percussive sounds.

Talented, imaginative and thoughtful, they are worthy of a discerning jazz audience.
