Ancoor by Ancoor

ANNOUNCEMENT: CORONA >>> ANCOOR

After some months of hesitation we've decided to change our band name, due to the coronavirus pandemic. We had a nice band name with a personal story behind it, however, we think it would be in bad taste to use a name which caused suffer and difficulty and even reminds many people death and loss.

Therefore, we decided to create a new band name which still has something to do with our old name, both figuratively and literally. The result is ANCOOR, using the same letters as CORONA. Although its not an existing word, it evokes two meanings: "encore" and "anchor".

We also renamed our digital album and new covers for the LE cassettes will also be printed (for the future sales only).

The first album of the Amsterdam-based European jazz piano trio Ancoor, formed by Hungarian pianist Máté Lachegyi, Latvian bass player Uldis Vītols and German drummer Clemens Lotz. Besides originals by Lachegyi and Vītols, it also features 'Man in a Shed' by Nick Drake and a jazz ballad, 'I Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out to Dry'.

Their music refuses to be labelled: it walks on the edge of genres, styles, moods and atmospheres. Therefore we don't bother wih long descriptions of the music. Give it a listen and if you like what you hear, buy the digital album or the limited edition on tape cassettes with amazing gold plated artwork.

Thanks!
