The fourth album from Norwegian-Finnish power trio Scorch Trio, Melaza captures the group’s bold hybrid of jazz and rock, as they navigate new sonic territory with drummer Frank Rosaly joining guitarist Raoul Björkenheim and bassist Ingebrigt Håker Flaten. Recorded in New Jersey and mixed in Helsinki, the album marks a shift toward clarity, showcasing the trio’s improvisational intensity and refined interplay. Known for pushing the boundaries of jazz-rock, Scorch Trio continues to evoke critical acclaim for their fearless, imaginative sound.
On Melaza, the band explores both scorching, high-energy passages and moments of subtle, pointillist beauty, highlighted by Håker Flaten’s exclusive use of Fender bass. Rosaly brings a fresh, versatile edge to the trio, sparking inventive exchanges that reveal new layers of nuance and dynamism. Praised for their “breathtaking” improvisational scope, Scorch Trio delivers another essential release for fans of adventurous, genre-blurring music.
