Most of the music on this record was written during the spring of 2022, a period where Europe stood still for a moment, shocked by the reality that Ukraine had been invaded and was suddenly at war. We did not really believe what we were seeing and hearing on the news. A couple of years before all of this, I had visited Kiev as a tourist and really enjoyed the city, and now suddenly, the city was undergoing bombardments destroying the streets and making it a place where people now had to live in constant fear for their own lives and for their families. During this time, I was teaching a young trumpet player named Roman in improvisation at «Landslinje for jazz» in Molde. Through our conversations, it became clear that he had family and relatives back in Ukraine, and this meant a constant feeling of chaos for him. All this while trying to live a normal life and attending school. This made an impact on me and inspired me to write the song «For Roman». Songs for Roman was inspired by talking to Roman about these topics in March 2022. Writing some of these compositions became my musical response. I hope they can be meaningful in some way. Arne Torvik, Molde, July 2023 Arne Torvik's previous record "Northwestern Songs" from 2021 (LOS 240-2) has become the most streamed release on Losen Records with almost one million streams and quite good CD sale as well. There are many people out there who know this trio and there is no reason to believe that there will be fewer streams for this release which follows up with very beautiful, melodic and catchy piano trio music.

The three musicians, bound by the miles they've traveled together, prioritize full, effortless notes that don't care to impress, but to convey emotion to the listener. And he, in turn, is almost certain to return to this beautiful and sensitive recording.
