Vapaa pääsy
Jazzpianisti ja säveltäjä Teemu Kekkonen on nouseva tähti eurooppalaisella jazzkentällä. Pohdiskelevat sävellykset, elokuvalliset harmoniat, meditatiiviset groovet ja tutunkuuloiset melodiat ovat Kekkosen musiikin tunnusmerkkejä.
Teemu Kekkonen Trio esittää musiikkia pianistin debyyttialbumilta Here/There. Kappaleita tulkitsevat Kekkosen rinnalla basisti Mikael Saastamoinen ja rumpali Roope Kantonen.
Levyn sävellykset ovat syntyneet viimeisen kymmenen vuoden varrella tosielämän tarinoiden ja tunnelmien inspiroimana. Arvostetusta Amsterdamin konservatoriosta äskettäin valmistunut pianisti tarjoilee charmikasta ja herkkää triomusiikkiaan pohjoismaisella, melodisella tyylillä. Inspiraatiota Kekkosen musiikille löytyy yhtä lailla esimerkiksi pianistien Chick Corean ja Vijay Iyerin tuotannosta, kuin myös pop-musiikista ja Maurice Ravelin impressionismista. Laaja-alaiset vaikutteet antavat tälle triolle todella omaleimaisen soundin, joka yhtä lailla innostuttaa ja rauhoittaa kuulijaansa.
