Joonas Haavisto Trio,G Livelab, helsinki20.5. At 20:00
Joonas Haavisto Trio, comprising of pianist Haavisto, bassist Antti Lötjönen and drummer Joonas Riippa display what it means that a jazz trio plays with their strengths and finds new directions for their music together. Their music, as heard on the 2016 album "Oku", swings effortlessly and there's a certain kind of lightness to how the music flows when performed by this trio.
