Serenity is a double album by the Bobo Stenson Trio recorded in April 1999 and released on ECM the following year. The trio features rhythm section Anders Jormin and Jon Christensen. [1]
The contemporary JazzTimes review by Stuart Nicholson stated "Here, Stenson emerges as an original voice within jazz, which in these renascent times is cause enough for celebration." [2]
The Penguin Guide to Jazz selected this album as part of its suggested “Core Collection,” describing it as “a towering achievement.” [3]
The AllMusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4½ stars stating "Simply put, there are no records like the Stenson Trio's Serenity. The band has outdone themselves by their slow, careful development over three records and has become one of the premier rhythm trios on the planet. Serenity is not only the group's coup de grace, but also a jazz masterpiece of the highest order." [4]
