Founded in 2013, Bowman Trio has come up with a unique framework for their music: the story of a fictional Swedish adventurer, Johan Bowman. The young Helsinki-based group borrows their easy and classy sound from the 1950s West Coast style: bassist Joonas Tuuri and drummer Sami Nummela provide the round, smooth swing, to which Tomi Nikku’s trumpet adds a few shades of cool.

Bowman Trio was selected as the We Jazz Rising Star of 2015 at the We Jazz Festival. 

We Jazz Records releases Bowman Trio’s new album in the spring 2019. The first single, ”The Chase/Hillary Step 7”, was released 5 October 2018. The second album pushes the trio towards more individual style, but minimalism and acoustic music are still present. New songs tell stories about summer, freedom and exhaustion.
