About

Ida Alanen Trio is one of the most exciting Finnish jazz ensembles of the moment. The trio is led by Helsinki-born Ida Alanen, who is currently completing her master’s studies at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam under the guidance of Harmen Fraanje. Double bassist Jonathan Bäckström and drummer Benjamin Nylund are also known as a rhythm section from, among others, the Jonathan Bäckström Quartet. All three are rapidly rising talents with strong and distinctive musical voices.
The trio’s repertoire consists mainly of Alanen’s compositions, which the group has been working on intensively over the past few years. Alanen’s music draws inspiration from visual forms, organic textures, and dream imagery. Her distinctive style as a composer and improviser incorporates influences from various musical traditions, including minimalism, 20th-century composers, and folk music. As a pianist, Alanen is fascinated by melodicism and a stripped-down, poetic aesthetic. As a composer, she values harmonic richness, a unique use of color, a sense of space, and attention to detail. Within the trio, there is a seamless musical connection, and the group moves effortlessly between carefully orchestrated compositions and free improvisation....
