After a decade and a half, Finnish pianist Iiro Rantala returns to his roots. He is joined by two congenial improvisers and partners: British bassist Conor Chaplin, a member of the Mercury Prize-nominated band Dinosaur, and Swedish-Norwegian drummer Anton Eger, one of the most colorful drumming personalities on the European jazz scene. Where exactly the musical journey with the HEL Trio will go, he does not reveal yet. But those who know Rantala, the classically trained master pianist with a mischievous streak, know that they can expect virtuosity with catchy and comprehensible melodies, serious music without the sacred seriousness and with plenty of surprising twists and turns. Entertaining and thrilling performances between classical music and jazz, fiery as hell (maybe that's why the name of the trio!) and presented with a lot of humor are guaranteed.
