Pianist and composer Philipp Rüttgers, of German descent, has been active in the Dutch jazz scene for 15 years. On his new album 'Etudes of Shapes and Forms' he can be heard, for the first time, in an acoustic piano trio, featuring the versatile Thomas Pol on double bass and rising star Sun-Mi Hong on drums. For this record, Philipp was inspired by pianists/composers such as Craig Taborn, Kris Davis and Sylvie Courvoisier, where he mainly focused on 'shapes and forms'. He explains: “Shapes as in harmonic and rhythmic structures, and forms as in arranging with bass and drums and the structure of improvisation and composition.”
