Modern Swedish jazz made by musicians knowing the pop-scene of today as
much as the jazztradition. This is jazz, but most of all music; lyrical,
beautiful and swinging. Pianist Joakim Simonsson and his trio have worked
together for over 6 years and finally their second album is here. "Goodbye
Everytime" is, according to composer/bandleader/pianist Simonsson, an
album inspired by different goodbyes in life; to people and places, and
about how some goodbyes, ironically, seems to be repeated.
Since Open TrioÆs first album (Saga û Colors, FYR002) came out in 2003,
theyÆve continued to develop a unique sound and first-class interplay.
OTÆs music gets itÆs special colour from Swedish folk music and hymns,
both a strong influence on the groupÆs main composer Joakim Simonsson. He
describes the outcome as some kind of ômelancholy free jazz with a touch
of folk music û always with a groove.ö
Free improvisation has with time also grown to be an important part of
OTÆs music. Often a song is no more than a simple melody, like a hymn,
open to be explored and developed anew each time itÆs played.
During the last few years Open Trio has performed at some of SwedenÆs most
notable jazzclubs and festivals, along with tours in Germany and the UK.
