GRAVITY

Description

The Joona Toivanen Trio is back on We Jazz Records with their new album "Gravity". A landmark album for the long-standing group, the album showcases the band's cutting-edge sound, going far beyond the basic scope of the "piano trio". There's a surprising sense of telepathy and intimacy at work in the music of the Joona Toivanen Trio, something you can glean from the very first moments of their latest album, Gravity. It's that rare synergy that can only come with years of time spent together on stage, in the rehearsal room, touring across Europe, en route to the next show. Looking at the discography of the Finnish piano trio is to see a relationship that dates back to the year 2000, when they self-produced their first album, Numurkah. Only, the connection between pianist Joona Toivanen, drummer Olavi Louhivuori and bassist Tapani Toivanen goes back even further.
