“Triskel” gives name to André Rosinha’s third album. The etymology of the Greek word we today use, triskelion, is original from the Celtic culture, meaning three-legged.
Its symbol materialises in three lines that curl in a spiral from a common centre, forming a rosette. The movement created by the union of these threads refers to the idea of cycle, action and progression, also leading to the balance of the three fundamental elements of the Celtic culture: Earth, Water and Air; evoking as well the divine interaction between Body, Mind and Soul.
It is from this symbolic trinity of complement that the trio presents itself.

“Em “Triskel”, com chancela da Nischo, conserva-se o rigor na exploração da dimensão melódica, transparecendo agora uma mais clara associação ao lirismo de certo jazz europeu – nomeadamente a alguns trios nórdicos associados ao chamado, por vezes erroneamente, “som ECM” (Stenson, Gustavsen) – e uma maior permeabilidade a influências eruditas e às raízes portuguesas.” – António Branco – Jazz.pt
