OLLI HIRVONEN TRIO (FIN-IRL-USA)

  • Philly Joe's jazz club 10 Vabaduse väljak Tallinn, Harju maakond, 10146 Estonia (map)

Soomest pärit kitarrist Olli Hirvonen on nüüd juba enam kui kümme aastat New Yorgis elanud ja mustseerinud. Pärast 2013. aastal magistrikraadi omandamist Manhattani muusikakoolis tegutses ta aktiivselt New Yorgi muusikamaastikul ning pälvis 2016. aastal Montreux’ Jazzifestivalil elektrikitarristide peapreemia.

Selle aasta sügisel andis Olli Hirvonen koos Marty Kenney ja Nathan Ellman-Belliga välja oma värskeima albumi „Kielo“. Albumil kõlavad põhjamaiste juurtega ning ameerikalike mõjutustega palad, mis on inspireeritud kitarri lõputust mitmekülgsusest. Tuuril astub Hirvonen üles Ellman-Belliga ning Simon Jermyniga.

Koosseis:
Olli Hirvonen – kitarr
Simon Jermyn – bass
Nathan Ellman-Bell – trummid

From the roots twang to the distorted overdrive, the guitar is the perfect vehicle for the delivery of the strikingly eclectic music of Olli Hirvonen. His new recording, “Kielo”, finds Hirvonen and his longstanding trio of Marty Kenney and Nathan Ellman-Bell focusing on the myriad possibilities inherent in the six strings, especially as the Nordic ethereality of the leader’s music becomes more and more enmeshed in the root’s sounds of his adopted home in the United States.

Hailing from the city of Lappeenranta in Finland, Olli Hirvonen has called New York home for more than a decade now. After earning his master’s in 2013 from Manhattan School of Music, he worked hard and smart on the New York scene and beyond. In 2016 he won first prize at the Montreux guitar competition, where his solid body Fender and fiery expressiveness made an impression on the head judge, John McLaughlin.

The most enduring partnerships that Hirvonen created have been with the members of his trio, bassist Marty Kenney and drummer Nathan Ellman-Bell. Hirvonen assembled the trio in 2014, first playing straight ahead jazz but then delving further and further into free improv and avant-garde, where they really forged a bond and musical trust. On tour in Finland Hirvonen is joined with Ellman-Bell on drums and the Irish bassist Simon Jermyn.

The music that Olli Hirvonen makes these days is indebted to sounds that he absorbed from his youth in Finland. The Nordic feel that he brought from Europe has now been merged with the Americana influences of his new home, leading to the wonderful, earthy sound that can be heard on Hirvonen’s new recording, “Kielo”.
