Jussi Fredriksson Trio has polished their uniquely strong interplay by playing live regularly since 2014.
The trio has released three albums, and summer 2021 sees the newest album, Archipelago Sea Tales, come out. Under the pandemic, pianist Jussi Fredriksson has written the band a completely new repertoire, which draws inspiration from the current themes in the Finnish archipelago; the color palette is rich, and the imagery varies from romantic seaside idylls to the eco-catastrophe at the Baltic Sea. The songs from Archipelago Sea Tales originated in Aspo, Nauvo, Bränskär, Gullkrona and other beautiful islands in the outer archipelago. The album rose to several international playlists after its release, and has received a lot of praise.
The trio is famous for their captivating stage presence, and the ability to tell affectionate musical stories.
