Charles Carlman Trio is a band formed in 2016 by three young jazz musicians who perform both their own compositions and songs from the United States and Brazil.

The band's streamlined line-up gives room for a tiny, deeply touching expression. Kadi Vija's velvety voice and minimalist expressive power, combined with Juuso Rinta's strong bass work and Héctor Lepe's playful, stylish guitar, will take the listener to warm landscapes.

The band's own production is influenced by the rhythms, poetry and visual arts of Latin America. The band recorded jazz standards and trio's own compositions for the drum-free ensemble at Kiikala Church in July 2019.

Charles Carlman Trio has established itself in the Helsinki jazz circles with its monthly club at GLO Hotel Art. In addition to regular club activities, they have performed e.g. at Korpo Sea Jazz Festival, Feel Helsinki and Southeast Estonia.

The members of the trio have studied at the jazz department of Sibelius Academy and each is an active musician in the Finnish jazz scene.
