The Aleksis Liukko Trio releases their debut album 'The Sonic Sessions'. In addition to pianist Aleksis Liukko's fresh compositions, the album includes slightly older material from the past ten years, as well as one creation of the band's bassist Mikael Saastamoinen. The trio is influenced by one of the top Finnish musicians of the moment, Aleksis Liukko. Bassist Mikael Saastamoinen (e.g. Perussastamala, Katu Kaiku, Linda Fredriksson) and drummer Okko Saastamoinen (e.g. OK:KO, SIR GARRISON, Arppa), bring to the trio a strong interplay and natural musical communication. The African-American musical tradition is audible and the skilful grasp of improvisation also creates Nordic and vividly colourful atmospheres.
