Aleksander Paal Trio

The Aleksander Paal Trio brings saxophones, flute, Joel Remmel’s piano and Heikko Remmel’s double bass together in an acoustic setting. The absence of drums leaves more space in the music and lets the dialogue between the three musicians emerge clearly and directly. Years of playing together have shaped the trio into a close-knit ensemble for whom jazz is a direct and clear musical language. It brings together a deep sense of tradition, improvisational freedom, and finely honed melodic, harmonic and rhythmic sensibilities. The programme is built around Aleksander Paal’s original compositions, alongside pieces that have inspired and shaped him as a musician over the years. The intimate ensemble highlights above all the lyrical and nuanced side of these works.
