Joel Lyssarides Trio

Swedish jazz that captivates listeners: Piano, bass and drums, hauntingly played by Joel Lyssarides, Niklas Fernqvist and Rasmus Blixt. Joel Lyssarides is considered one of the great storytellers of Scandinavian jazz and is - still - an insider tip. Outside his home country of Sweden, the 30-year-old pianist, who owes his surname to Greek roots, is probably only known to insiders. He is already a star on the streaming service Spotify, his music has been viewed over 50 million times in the last few years.

Joel Lyssarides, Sweden's Jazz Musician of the Year 2019 and a multi-award-winning artist, brings strong classical influences to his lyrical, sometimes submerged music with his programme "Stay Now", which he prefers to compose in the silence of the night. His pieces also often sound as if they were written in this special mood between dusk and dawn.

This atmosphere is perfectly staged in the highly concentrated, differentiated, subtle interplay of the trio. The spectacular in their music is hidden in the most intimate, quiet moments, in the moment of focused pause. The three young musicians are united by an enormous sensitivity and expressiveness, based on a vocabulary that draws equally from European classical music, jazz on both sides of the Atlantic and the depth and accessibility of great songwriting.
