At The Right Time is the third piano trio album from Danish jazz pianist/composer Rasmus Sørensen, an artist who has been establishing himself in New York's vibrant jazz scene for the past five years. He returned to his home country to present this album, his third in three years. Rasmus' trio includes himself on piano, Jon Henriksson on bass and Francesco Ciniglio on drums and percussion. The twelve diverse original compositions on the album focus on togetherness, juxtaposing feelings of being tightly locked in with being suspended in free-floating time, often combining the best of both rhythmic worlds. At only 26, Søresen undoubtedly has a brilliant international career ahead of him! There is a lot of variety from one track to the next, but the album is arranged in such a way that the music moves effortlessly - perfect for focused listening as well as for easy, comfortable background music. Do yourself a favor, though, and listen to the album with full concentration at least a few times!

Born and raised in a musical family in northern Denmark, Rasmus Sørensen developed a passion for music at an early age and soon became a sought-after pianist. He studied jazz in Sweden and Denmark before deciding to attend the Manhattan School of Music in New York, where he was offered a full-tuition scholarship. Since then, he has been mentored by some of the greatest living jazz musicians and educators.

At The Right Time begins with "The Sun," a warm and vibrant piece that immediately draws you in with its fresh, positive outlook as well as Sørensen's amazing touch on the piano keyboard. "Embrace the Circumstance" expresses an optimistic attitude with joy and aplomb. "Retreat"cools it down considerably while maintaining an easy groove. At 6 1/2 minutes, "Perennial Youth" is by far the longest track on the album and has a repeated piano motif (with variations) that runs through much of the piece, becoming quite intense in the later part of the halfand then fading out. I'd love to know how "Earthlings" got its name, although it does seem rather grounded! The only piano solo on the album, it has a relaxed pace and feels mostly improvised - a favorite. "Blasting" picks up the tempo to a high-energy level at the beginning, cools a bit, and then re-energizes. "Shoes Off" feels very relaxed and comfortable in the first section, and then cuts loose - it's still a relaxed and comfortable groove, but with a lot more energy! "Ocean Waves" captures the feeling of calm ocean waves lapping at the shoreline and then receding back into the sea - beautiful in its brevity! Sørensen saves the title track for the end, but it is well-worth the wait and an exciting close to an excellent album!

At The Right Time is available from Amazon and Apple/iTunes as well as streaming sites including Bandcamp and Spotify. Highly recommended!
