Umo Jazz House

I FINALLY made it to this venue last night to see The Joona Toivanen Trio. These guys I met in Perth years ago and I always promised I would look them up when I got to Finland. When I arrived in June and emailed them I was amazed they remembered me!
Anyway, they are three young guys from Jyväskylä who are studying in Stockholm and Helsinki. Of course everyone studies here for years and years and years!
These guys are awesome! They played two original sets of beautiful, if somewhat melancholic music. I haven't seen a group who play together so well. I mean, these guys really play together! It's like their hearts all beat at the same time... it's beautiful to listen to.
Hearing them has totally inspired me to practice and write more. Anyone want to donate a piano to my cause?
