Tuomas J. Trio was formed in 2012, when the ensemble played its first concert at Koko Jazz Club in Helsinki. Their repertoire consists of pianist Tuomas J. Turunen’s compositions. The co-play of Turunen, Manuel Dunkel, Jori Huhtala and Tuomas Timonen is extremely communicative. It leads the listener from one atmosphere and soundscape to another. The band works as a team, but all members can amaze with virtuosic solo parts with their own instruments. The silence of Finnish forest and the uniqueness and multiform energy of the New York are combined in the band’s music in a very original and touching way.

The band released their debut album Megetme in 2018 on Eclipse Music. The album received rave five star reviews, and the band has since performed i.a. at Jazz-Espa, Juttutupa's Rytmihäiriöklbui, Eclipse Jazz Club, Pori Jazz 2019 and Koli Jazz 2020.
