The idea of Sun Trio started to take shape when the Louhivuori brothers were touring Asia and Australia in mid-2000s. The idea became actuality when the trusted and sure-handed bassist Antti Lötjönen joined them. Soon after, the ambitious trio was doubly victorious in the Young Nordic Jazz Comets Final, organised that year in Iceland: the trio won the competition, and the trumpeter, Kalevi Louhivuori, was chosen as the best soloist.
Today, Sun Trio has moved on to big leagues. Last summer they toured the U.S., playing at some of the biggest jazz festivals of the country, including Rochester Jazz Festival, Vancouver Jazz Festival and Victoria Jazz Festival, and at a number of selected clubs, such as New York's Nublu.
The trio's anticipated performance as a part of the TTT club series is also one of the Finnish album-launching shows to celebrate their third recording, entitled In The Dreamworld. The disc came out on the celebrated Italian label CAM Jazz, which has previously released material from such giants as Kenny Wheeler and Chick Corea.
The trio's frontman, Jorma Kalevi Louhivuori, has performed with, among others, European Jazz Orchestra, Dave Liebman and Bob Mintzer, and he is a strong presence in such Finnish groups as Ricky-Tick Big Band, The Northern Governors and singer Yona's Orkesteri Liikkuvat Pilvet. Neither do Antti Lötjönen's and Olavi Louhivuori's CV's pale in comparison: both men are among Finland's most sought-after and respected jazz artists.
Equipped with telepathic skills of musical communication, Sun Trio is a group capable of both serene, meditative soundscapes and explosive outbursts of raw energy.
Showtime 10PM, doors 9:30PM.
Tickets 12 €.

Ajatus Sun Triosta syntyi, kun Louhivuoren veljekset Kalevi ja Olavi kiersivät yhteisellä jazz-kiertueellaan Aasiaa ja Australiaa. Bändiin liittyi vuorenvarma luottobasisti Antti Lötjönen, ja näin iskukykyinen trio oli valmis. Niin valmis, että pian perustamisensa jälkeen se voitti vuonna 2006 Islannissa pohjoismaisen Young Nordic Jazz Comets -kilpailun Kalevin pokatessa samalla parhaan solistin palkinnon.
Tänään Sun Trio soittaa jo varttuneiden sarjassa. Yhtyeen viime kesän ohjelmaan kuului Pohjois-Amerikan kiertue alan suurimmissa tapahtumissa, kuten Rochester Jazz Festival, Vancouver Jazz Festival ja Victoria Jazz Festival, sekä esiintymiset valikoiduilla klubeilla, esimerkiksi New Yorkin Nublussa.
Sun Trion odotettu keikka TTT-Klubilla on yksi yhtyeen uuden albumin In The Dreamworld levynjulkaisukonserteista Suomessa. Kansainvälisen jakelun takaava italialainen levymerkki CAM Jazz on julkaissut aiemmin mm. Kenny Wheelerin ja Chick Corean levytyksiä.
Sun Trion keulakuva, maan kuumimpiin trumpetisteihin kuuluva Jorma Kalevi Louhivuori (J.K.L) on esiintynyt mm. European Jazz Orchestran, Dave Liebmanin ja Bob Mintzerin kanssa. Hänet tunnetaan lisäksi Ricky-Tick Big Bandin, The Northern Governorsin ja Yonan yhtyeen riveistä. Myös Antti Lötjönen ja Olavi Louhivuori ovat omissa instrumenteissaan Suomen kysytyimpien muusikoiden joukossa.
Loistavalla keskinäisellä kemialla ja vahvalla musiikillisella kommunikointikyvyllä varustettu Sun Trio on malliesimerkki yhtyeestä, jonka vaihdelaatikosta löytyvät asetukset sekä melankolisen meditatiivisiin että räiskyvän revitteleviin hetkiin!
Showtime klo 22, ovet klo 21.30.
Liput 12 €.
