Britta Virves Trio is one of the most compelling new voices on the Nordic jazz scene. With Virves at the piano – assured, present, unmistakably her own – the trio explores a dynamic space between intimacy and expansiveness. Music shaped by trust, precision, and an open ear for both silence and surprise.
There’s a cinematic quality running through it all, and elements of pop, classical and modern jazz weave into something grounded yet contemporary. The interplay with Jon Henriksson on bass and Jonas Bäckman on drums rests on deep musical trust and shared intent.
Following their Grammy-nominated debut Juniper (2022), featuring guest soloist Kurt Rosenwinkel, the trio has toured extensively across Europe, earning acclaim for their honesty, presence and strong artistic identity. Now they return to Fasching with their new album Simple Things, a fresh set of original compositions that capture both lightness and weight, clarity and complexity.
