Estonian guitarist Jaak Sooäär returns to Pittsburgh following a 2016 Jazz Poetry performance with his quintet. 2016 was Jaak’s first ever U.S. performance, coming directly to Pittsburgh from Estonia just for the festival. The Jaak Sooäär Trio is most known for their album The Mighty Five, nominated as best album of the year by JazzTimes in 2015. It’s an improvised exploration of titans in Russian classical composers, translated to jazz. Listening to the album, and their live performances, is like sheer exhilaration—and with this concert we think you’ll be lifted into a musical euphoria and transported right from your couch to a jazz club in Estonia!...
