trio DE MAST featuring van Delft & Salama

In April 2024 and in February 2020 we recorded new compositions . You can hear the results on the new album called “Windstil” by “Trio de Mast” (release sept 2024).

I know Sebastiaan van Delft mainly as a brilliant organist, however in these recordings it turns out he’s also a great pianist. Modar Salama joined us with his unique and subtle percussion in a big part of the repertoire. We perform in a trio- as well as in a duo line up.

Some reviews:
“The trio sounded subtle and intimate,…lyricism…accents, grooves. The three musicians
were in a ongoing musical dialogue..” April 21th 2024 performance at Hothouse Leiden

“ ‘Unlike the title suggests, 'Windstil [Windless] is an unbelievably lively album. It is an album by
someone who, in his career as a musician, audibly immersed himself in a good many musical styles;
in an organic manner, Indian music, French impressionism, soul-grooves, pop, Bach and blues are
blended with the lyrical language so typical of Pieter’s compositions and improvisations. It seems that,
after the albums by the Windstreken-ensemble, this smaller ensemble with Modar Salama and
Sebastiaan van Delft enlarges even more the poetical expressiveness. A windless haven, where all
impressions of a musical exploration find their places and to which one want to listen over and over
again.”
