On their debut album “?”, the Jussi Fredriksson Trio approaches the theme of uncertainty. The theme of the album was inspired by the words of the Finnish novelist Tove Jansson: "All things are so very uncertain, and that’s exactly what makes me feel reassured”. Fredriksson himself comments that "the theme of uncertainty doesn't relate to personal insecurity here, but rather to the positive connotations of not knowing how thing will turn out, and the open process of creative thinking."
Pianist Jussi Fredriksson has composed an expressive set of new tunes for his recently-formed piano trio. What makes this album stand out is its strong melodic character and its fascinating rhythmic ideas combined with a fresh touch on the production. The recording sounds intimate, as if the band would be playing right in front of you in the same room, which gives the album a peaceful and warm mood.

Pretty much everything. The playing is incredible and the compositions lovely. But most of all I love the intensity of listening, joy and collaboration that oozes from every piece. Three of today's finest jazz musicians who were clearly thirsting for live co-creation and pull off a masterpiece on this album. tjsimon1
