Open Trio

About Me

This is modern Swedish jazz made by musicians knowing the pop-scene of today as much as the jazz tradition. This is jazz, but most of all music; lyrical, beautiful and swinging. Pianist Joakim Simonsson and his trio have worked together for over 10 years and are now in the middle of the creative process for their third album recording. Open Trio is a group of hard working musicians and the merit list from the last decade is of course long, both as a trio, but also for the three musicians individually. Alongside the trio, Joakim, Daniel and Pär- Ola has worked with most of the Swedish jazz-musicians and artists. This includes singers like Rigmor Gustafsson, Jeanette Lindström, Victoria Tolstoy and Lena Swanberg, Sofia Jannok and Sofia Karlsson as well as instrumentalists as Joakim Milder, Fredrik Ljungkvist, Bernt Rosengren and Karin Hammar just to mention a few. Since Open Trio’s first album (Saga – Colors, FYR002) came out in 2003, they’ve continued to develop a unique sound and first-class interplay.
