ENEMY is an energetic and charismatic trio consisting of Kit Downes on piano, Petter Eldh on bass and James Maddren on drums. This top-class line-up is sure to impress jazz fans. All three members have won numerous awards and have been shaping the international jazz scene for years. They also enchant critics.

The band is the antithesis of the traditional romantic piano trio, focusing on maximum tension through complex structures, cryptic rhythms, wonky beats and interplay that thrives on lightning-fast reactions and radical focus. They deliberately challenge themselves with their pieces, both technically and creatively. The result is powerful, edgy and dynamic music, full of changing pulses, frenzied piano runs, rushing grooves and intricate drum figures. At the same time, catchy melodies and poetic moments appear repeatedly.

As ENEMY, the three musicians embody uncompromisingness, physicality, playful wit and a hint of extravagance. With their new album Fiend, released last year, they continue this approach seamlessly.
