Harri Kuusijärvi Trio: Aallot

 

In his latest project Aallot (Waves), accordion artist Harri Kuusijärvi blends the acoustic warmth of bassist Jori Huhtala and drummer Mika Kallio’s jazz rhythm section with his new electronically enhanced accordion. The trio combines Nordic serenity with bubbling jazz energy, resulting in music that is earthy, minimalist, and irresistibly groovy—likely something you’ve never heard before.

Harri Kuusijärvi is one of the most distinctive creators of new accordion music. He has premiered numerous contemporary music compositions for the accordion, performed with countless leading and up-and-coming artists in the rhythm music field, and received glowing reviews for his albums across genres. The Finnish Accordion Association named Kuusijärvi Accordion Artist of the Year 2023, stating that “Kuusijärvi’s fearless projects have broadened the perception of what the accordion can do as an instrument.” He has also been recognized with a Best Classical nomination at the 2021 Emma Gala and a Teosto Award nomination in 2020.

The trio’s first studio session was broadcast on YLE Jazzklubi in June 2024. Their debut album Aallot will be released in January 2025 under Flame Jazz Records.
