The Olli Ojajärvi Trio released their album “Out of Mind” in late 2009. The trio is a combination of three strong players. In Jan Simons (bass) and Markku Ounaskari (drums), Ojajärvi (sax) has a rhythm section that provides steady backing and also paves the way when the time is right. Olli Ojajärvi’s expression echoes the influence of saxophone giants such as John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, Sonny Rollins and Jan Garbarek. His approach towards composing and playing is dynamic, and improvisation has a central position in his music.

Simply put, in Olli Ojajärvi Trio, the three players gel into a single entity. What’s more, they each manage to be more than “+1″ in the equation which thus yields out an answer infinitely more than 3.
