A Cup of Joe

With the release of their new album, A Cup of Joe, the trio Bévort 3 marks the 25th anniversary of the death of Joe Henderson, one of jazz's central figures. Here, Pernille Bévort draws inspiration from Henderson's universe and compositions, while the music clearly bears her own personal signature. The album will be released in January 2026 and promises a musical experience full of surprises, energy, and presence.

In connection with the release, two prominent jazz connoisseurs have already shared their brief thoughts on the album (Ian Patterson, All About Jazz, above and this one too): "This music is so well played that it gives surprises the whole way through. I listened to the entire repertoire nonstop and was with the flow all the way. Pernille has control over her art form. She knows where she is and where she is headed. That is how I hear Joe Henderson’s work. She has really made an album in which I canhear Joe, but through her own personal aesthetic. Make no mistake - this is a real band, a working unit. And this new recording highlights the unity they have” - Bob Rockwell (formerly known from Thad Jones/Mel Lewis etc.)
