The trio, led by currently Lyon-based pianist Aki Rissanen, has been counted among one of the most interesting Finnish jazz ensembles for some time already. The albums Amorandom (2016), Another North (2017) and Art In Motion (2019) released by the British Edition Records have been strong demonstrations of the band's abilities, and with them Rissanen and his trio achieved their international breakthrough, rising to the forefront of the European jazz scene.

Now the band is finally able to perform the music of Art In Motion on tour - and in the spirit of the album’s name. With the release of the album, an even more unified and coordinated trio was heard, and their playing was described as singularly distinctive and ambitious. Art In Motion was selected as one of the two best jazz records in 2019 by Helsingin Sanomat and was named Editor's Pick in the seminal jazz magazine Downbeat.

Rissanen’s own sentiments confirm the assessment: “Playing this material has at least shown that our sound now stands out more from other bands. Even though the band bears my name, Antti and Teppo’s contribution to the sound has always been significant. This trio follows its very own path and doesn’t shy away from taking risks. Our modern expression shakes hands with jazz tradition.”

The tour is produced by Raitala Music Oy as a co-production with Jazz Finland.

Joona Toivanen Trio celebrates the release of their long-awaited Both Only album with tour, which brings the band to Logomo on Friday, March 25.

The improvising Joona Toivanen Trio has always been restrained and minimalistic in its expression. The new Both Only album boldly takes the sound of the trio in an electronic and abstract direction. The album is an ensemble created during a four-day studio session, in which the compositions, sounds and structures were created sequestered in a Gothenburg studio. Both on the record and live, the world of jazz, cinematic music and electronic ambient moves hypnotically in trio's sound.
