Finnish pianist Iiro Rantala is set to dazzle once again. He returns to Draiflessen, this time around with his trio, and will perform a range of works from the 1950s to the present. In this programme, Rantala tips his hat to a number of great jazz composers, including Keith Jarrett and Toots Thielemans, lending their works an invigorating lightness. He’ll also perform his own pieces – the juxtaposition revealing the way he sees jazz today: as a music that’s virtuosic, profound, yet always entertaining.

He’s joined by former Esbjörn Svensson Trio bassist Dan Berglund – a forceful yet unobtrusive presence – and drummer Anton Eger, whose honed playing supplies a versatile yet vigorous rhythmic foundation.
