      Description hide

      Saxophonist and composer Joakim Berghäll (best known from Tsuumi Sound System and Helsinki-Cotonou Ensemble) leads his all star trio Triality to arctic soundscapes on his masterful concept album.

      The free dialogue (or trialogue to be precise) between sax, bass clarinet, guitars, moog and prepared piano at the hands of three masters of their instruments draws intricate soundscapes of the northern wilderness and the rumble of the arctic seas. The exotic instrumentation is special in itself, but the album has already been praised by critics before its official release. There's no rhythm section, so what's left is a free flowing tapestry of intense sounds.

      Initially planned as a limited run release, Triality's The Arctic now gets an official release through Eclipse Music (and German partner Galileo Music).

      Joakim "Jusu" Berghäll is a versatile reed player and multi-instrumentalist best known for his work with Tsuumi Sound System and Helsinki-Cotonou Ensemble. He has also worked extensively as a theater musician and composer for The Finnish National Theater and The Helsinki City Theater.

      Kalle Kalima is one of the best known Finnish jazz exports. The guitarist has worked successfully with the ACT label in the Central European music market for years. In addition to his own recording he has recently released albums with the band Kuu! and Tenors of Kalma (together with Jimi Tenor).

      Kari Ikonen is an award-winning pianisti and composer whose output is well known throughout Europe. In recent years he has successfully recorded several albums for the German Ozella label with his own trio. In Finland Ikonen has received, amongst other awards, the high honor of being Jazz Musician of the Year in 2014. In addition to the Kari Ikonen Trio his prolific bands and projects include Karikko, Gnomus, Trio Toffa and Ajaton Quartet.
