Jazz Finland Live

Light and shadows. Stories. Images. Contrasts, coincidences. Hands and Omens’s evocative, layered sounds take the listener through a spectrum of moods. Hands and Omens is a rule-breaking jazz trio consisting of three of the most expressive players in the current Helsinki music scene. The group's debut album is released in September 2019. Above all, Hands and Omens is seeking a new kind of acoustic sound, keeping freedom and communicative group playing as their cornerstones. The three individual voices of Nikita Rafaelov on piano, Silva Kallionpää on violin and Joonas Tuuri on double bass come together in support of each other. The plain instrumentation is used creatively, without predefined frames. To their unique compositions, musicians have searched inspiration from for example Edgar Allan Poe’s, Daniil Harms’s and Knut Hamsun's literature
