About

Joonas Haavisto's four-part piece Pinnan alta will premiere at April Jazz. The piece is composed for mixed choir, piano and percussion. Haavisto, who is also responsible for the lyrics, tells a story that transports the listener into the depths, from which human action and the limitations of life are examined with wonder. The work, which reaches into spiritual spaces and Coltrane-like cascades, also focuses on improvisation, which helps us stay in the moment and confront the unknown.
Joonas Haavisto is a Finnish jazz pianist and composer who has had a significant international career for over 15 years. With his trio, he has released five albums and toured extensively abroad, performing at the Blue Note Jazz Club in New York, the Tokyo Jazz Festival and the DC Jazz Festival, among others. Known for his crystal-clear piano sound and versatility, Haavisto has performed with many famous jazz musicians, such as Jerry Bergonzi, Jonathan Blake, Jaleel Shaw, Ralph Alessi, Tivon Pennicott and Michael Formanek. As a soloist, Haavisto has played with chamber orchestras and big bands. He has composed compositions for small and large ensembles, as well as for the Cannes Film Festival-awarded film โ€œThe Happiest Day in the Life of Olli Mรคkiโ€ directed by Juho Kuosmanen....
