Pianist Jussi Fredriksson releases a new trio album “!” on April 12^th and celebrates it with a album release concert at Koko Jazz Club in Helsinki on the same day. 

In addition to Fredriksson, the impressive ensemble consists of bassist Jori Huhtala and drummer Mika Kallio. Trio delighted the audience with their debut album “?” and as their music develops even deeper and distinctive than before it is time to naturally move on to exclamation mark. 

Fredriksson’s style of composing is strongly narrative. The pieces leisurely flow onwards yet they keep their intensity. Trio plays well together supporting each other’s ideas and succeeds bringing personal and fresh tones to common trio format. Where the debut ”?” threw up questions, ”!” is closer to convincing conclusion. Talented trio takes the music from static themes to surprising turns. Their tone is fluently soft and elastic rhythm brings deep dimensions to their expression. 

Welcome!
