This is the second edition of the collaboration between ACT and Château Palmer – one of the most legendary Grands Crus from Bordeaux’s Left Bank. This time, Château Palmer itself became the exclusive recording venue for an equally exceptional ensemble. ‘TRIO’ features internationally acclaimed bassist, cellist and composer Lars Danielsson, alongside two jazz greats from the North: Finnish trumpeter Verneri Pohjola and British guitarist John Parricelli. The music captures the unique atmosphere of the château, reflecting the tranquillity, beauty and intimacy of the recordings setting. This album vividly brings to life the original vision behind the ACT and Château Palmer collaboration: to capture the magic that occurs when extraordinary artists converge in an extraordinary place.

The album is available as a special deluxe LP edition including 180g vinyl in a crafted box covered with Bordeaux-coloured linen and hotfoil stamping, an extensive booklet filled with photographs by renowned French photographer Julien Mignot, and a special hand-signed art print by American artist Mark Harrington. Harrington and ACT share a connection spanning over 20 years, during which many of his works have been featured on ACT’s iconic album covers.
