JAZZ-ESPA 2022
AT 17.30 JOSU MÄMMI TRIO
Aino Juutilainen – cello, Martti Vesala – trumpet, Josu Mämmi – electronics, drums
Josu Mämmi Trio’s music resonates across the intersections of jazz, electroacoustic and neoclassical music through a union of modal harmonies, aleatoric techniques, and generative electronic music. The band’s hypnotic pieces create a strong pull through their generous tonal palette and sensitive melodic lines. In addition to composer-percussionist Josu Mämmi, cellist Aino Juutilainen and trumpetist Martti Vesala contribute to the ensemble’s original sound.

Matti Salo – guitar, Sami Sippola – saxophone, keyboard, Ville Rauhala – double bass, Janne Tuomi – drums
Fronted by guitarist-composer Matti Salo, the quartet’s debut album Tetraktys (LUOVA 2019) combines klezmer music, progressive rock and jazz into a concept album with a distinct voice. The pieces for the quartet’s new album Nepal, due for release this autumn, were born during Salo’s travels in Asia, taking the ensemble’s playing style towards a more meditative direction. Salo’s versatile musical background within genres such as death metal, psychedelic rock, and prog rock shines through, and his audiences are guaranteed a live experience full of adventure and surprise.

The English language lyrics explore a wide range of topics, moving from inner worlds to Cameroon’s rain forests, and travelling back in time to the era of pharaohs and Queen Nefertiti.
