Artfully vol. II ”comes to complete the edition of the original Artfully, a work presented by The European Jazz Piano Trio in 2011, and which is now reissued by Blau Records.

Scott Hamilton, in charge of the official review of the album, describes them as “the kind of trio that one often dreams of encountering. They play with a great and wide sense of swing, and they are excellent soloists. It is a pleasure to listen to these musicians and write about their performances ”.
