jaZZanti-konsertti: Toomas Keski-Säntti trio,Hakasalmen huvila, helsinki13.8. At 19:00
Toomas Keski-Säntti trio
Helsinki-based pianist and composer Toomas Keski-Säntti recorded his debut album Unearth while living in New York City. Released in March 2025 on the Spanish label Fresh Sound, the album marks the acclaimed pianist’s first appearance as a bandleader.
To bring the music of the album to life, Keski-Säntti assembled a group of top-tier musicians from Finland’s jazz scene. For this concert, the band performs as a trio, presenting both compositions from Unearth and newer works. Drummer Teppo Mäkynen and double bassist Joonas Tuuri have long been Keski-Säntti’s trusted musical collaborators.
In Keski-Säntti’s powerful compositions, the energy of the metropolis meets the clarity and openness of Nordic soundscapes in a compelling way. The trio’s dynamic is defined by the equal opportunity of each musician to steer the music in unexpected directions.
Keski-Säntti is a familiar name in many of Finland’s leading jazz ensembles, including OK:KO, Jukka Perko PreBoppers, and Selma Savolainen Horror Vacui, the latter of which won a Jazz Emma Award last year. He has performed actively at clubs and festivals across Europe as well as in New York.
