The Swansong Trio is a Jazz Trio that plays songs from their first and second studio album, as well as from their to-be-released short album recorded in Japan. The album was recorded live in concert in Mixát Stage, Budapest.

This is a Pure DSD 256 Stereo album, available in its original recorded format of DSD 256, as well as Stereo DSD 512, DSD 128, and DSD 64 exclusively at NativeDSD. It is not available on SACD. 

Swansong Trio was founded in 2010 in Berlin by Gábor Csordás and Noriaki Hosoya. The first drummer, Andrea Zuliani was replaced by Marty Risemberg in 2016. That was the time when they recorded their self-titled first album Swansong. It was released in 2019 on Hunnia Records & Film Production which led to immediate success especially in Japan. The band has toured in Japan in 4 major cities performing the first album. Then the pandemic cut the follow-up plans short, and the trio waited three years for another reunion. In 2022 the trio recorded two albums: Turbulence in Mixát Stage, and Do Swans Fly? is their second studio album, recorded in SuperSize Studios, Törökbálint.

The style of the trio is centered around melodic ideas coming from European music. The nowadays somewhat unusual setup in contemporary jazz of electric bass and acoustic piano gives a balance between the mainstream jazz sound and the fusion/jazz-rock rhythms often emphasized by the trio. Swansong also has a tendency to incorporate many styles into their music, from rock to electronic and on this very record even Latin.
