Porvoo Jazz Club: Kalevi Louhivuori Sun Trio
On the stage of the Porvoo Jazz Club, the Kalevi Louhivuori Sun Trio, which has a long history, will perform. Sun Trio’s international career began in Reykjavik, Iceland, in 2006 when they won the Young Nordic Jazz Comets competition, with Kalevi also winning the soloist award. The jury praised the group as follows: ”A polished ensemble of talented and dynamic musicians that creates its own musical space in accordance with the Nordic lyrical tradition.”
The justification for the soloist award was: ”An overwhelmingly distinctive soloist who brings new dimensions to his instrument, both technically and musically.”
Sun Trio’s intense, delicate, and simultaneously massive soundscape has received critical acclaim since their very first album. The trio’s ensemble playing has been honed to perfection over the past ten years. The Italian-American record label, Cam Jazz, has already released nine albums by Kalevi, with the latest, ”Reborn,” being the fourth from Sun Trio.
”Reborn” has received numerous 5-star reviews and has been highlighted in New York Jazz Magazine. Sun Trio has toured the world’s largest jazz festivals in America and Canada. ”Reborn” was released during the band’s tour in Japan in October 2016.
The members of the group are:
Kalevi ”Aceman” Louhivuori, trumpet, effects
Olavi Louhivuori, drums
Antti Lötjönen, bass
As jazz critic Jukka Hauru puts it, this group has ”…risen like a comet to become a hot name in the jazz scene.”
