tomi nikku triiio is a fresh ensemble on the Finnish music scene. In addition to trumpet player Tomi Nikku, the trio features the talented Joonas’s: Tuuri (bass) and Leppänen (drums). triiio’s repertoire consists of Nikku’s compositions and arrangements, drawing influences and inspiration from various styles of the Black American Music tradition, early 20th-century visual art, science fiction literature, and the senseless societal spirit of the 2020s.

Although the trio is a relatively new formation, its members have played together on numerous occasions in different ensembles (Alder Ego, Bowman Trio, New 4…). With many shared musical (and actual) miles behind them, this collective experience is evident in the triiio’s performances – the music breathes, evolves, and develops through the interaction between these cats.
