With its overt lyricism, strong themes and a sense of perpetual melodic invention, Norwegian saxophonist Trygve Seim's Helsinki Songs album published by ECM in 2018 quickly identified itself as a modern classic.
Themes of dedication run through Seim's Helsinki Songs album, a set of tunes composed – for the most part – in the Finnish capital, and radiating tributes in many directions. At G Livelab he is rejoined by his multinational quartet of top european jazz musicians: Kristjan Randalu on piano, Anders Jormin on bass and Markku Ounaskari on drums.
The evening is opened by Sooäär/Yaralyan/Ounaskari. Estonian guitarist Jaak Sooäär, Armenian/Estonian double bassist Ara Yaralyan and Finnish drummer Markku Ounaskari established the trio in spring 2016.
