Album lore

In Two Minds, issued by JazzJazz in early 2024, collects a single extended composition by Jerry Lu, Stefan Rey, and Niklas Walter. The record blends jazz’s easy listening contours with touches of funk and pop, a choice reflected in the trio’s restrained yet supple interplay. The session’s subtlety recalls mid-century modern jazz albums that favored mood and texture over overt virtuosity.Though the album features but one track, it unfolds with the measured grace of a suite, nodding to standards such as “In A Sentimental Mood” and “You Stepped Out Of A Dream” in its lineage. Listeners drawn to nuanced, groove-inflected jazz will find resonance here, where each phrase is allowed room to breathe and the ensemble’s chemistry becomes the signal guiding the piece.
