Vibraphonist Panu Savolainen’s jazz trio Herd celebrates its ten-year journey with an extensive tour in Finland. Herd released the critically acclaimed album X last February and is now heading on tour from 8 October until 31 October. Fourteen cities covering tour is produced together with Jazz Finland.

Herd was founded in 2009 between Savolainen, bassist Mikko Pellinen and drummer Tuomas Timonen. Trio is especially known of numerous collaboration projects, most famous being the Jazzbasilli with vocalist Aili Ikonen. Their debut album Live!! was released 2011 and the same year they won the distinguished European Jazz Competition at the North Sea Jazz festival in the Netherlands. They have hosted their own HERD club nights at National Theatre and toured in Australia in 2015 and in Ethiopia between 2016 and 2017.

With the original compositions of the band members, Herd returns to its roots to multidimensional, melancholy and beautiful trio play with its new X album. The album recorded in July 2018 boldly exploits the possibilities of studio technology, although on live concerts the band still relies on the acoustic swing.

“In the modern era, when most jazz singers draw from the pop canon simply as a matter of survival, Eeg makes no such allowances. She possesses exceptional technique – power, good taste, enunciation, control, earned wisdom – and knows how to work a song for all it’s worth, sometimes holding out a final climactic note until the very end, wowing audiences with a single sustained word.” – DownBeat Magazine
