Annimaria Rinne, Tero Saarti & the David Gordon Trio
vocal jazz latin jazz soul jazz
Influences: Norma Winstone, Bill Evans, Keith Jarrett
Finnish vocalist Annimaria Rinne and trumpeter Tero Saarti join UK pianist David Gordon for Nordic Blue, featuring original compositions and Rinne's vocal storytelling in Finnish and Swedish. Rinne's poetic sensibility and fluid command across jazz, classical and folkloric idioms recall Norma Winstone's genre-crossing sophistication, while Saarti's cool, understated Nordic trumpet and Gordon's richly imagined piano work create a distinctive Nordic-inflected jazz programme with strings and ensemble arrangements.
