about

Rönkä / Sommer: Varo (with Remmel & Sarikoski) is a joint effort of Finnish pianist Artturi Rönkä and Danish drummer Daniel Sommer. Most of the album is in trio format with Estonian Heikko Remmel on bass. On two of the tracks the trio is joined by Finnish trombone virtuoso Kasperi Sarikoski.

The music of Varo consists of short-form sketch-like pieces with plenty of room for improvisation. The moods range from Nordic calm to straight ahead jazz via abstract impressions. The album was recorded during a relaxed two-day session in November 2019 in Vartiokylä, Helsinki.

Artturi Rönkä is a Finnish pianist, composer and arranger working in a variety of genres from modern jazz to contemporary classical. Rönkä is best known for his group AR Quartet and for his work as an arranger for UMO Helsinki Jazz Orchestra and other large ensembles.

Daniel Sommer is a Copenhagen-based drummer originally from Aarhus, Denmark. Sommer has contributed to a wide range of releases ranging from minimalist avant-garde to highly swinging straight ahead - which has won great praise among critics. Sommer's musical flexibility and sharp contrasts create the right conditions for the music to never lose its grip. Sommer released his debut album Duets in 2017.

Heikko Remmel is one of the busiest young bass players in the Finnish and Estonian scene. He has collaborated with the most of Estonian top jazz artists as well as several Finnish jazz legends (Jukkis Uotila, Jussi Lehtonen, Teppo Mäkynen, Mikko Innanen, Jussi Kannaste) and international jazz stars (Bruce Barth, Will Winson, Eric Ineke, Lars Jansson ... ). Heikko received the Estonian “Young Jazz Talent” award in 2016.

Kasperi Sarikoski is a world-class jazz trombonist who is currently the principal trombone of UMO Helsinki Jazz Orchestra. He has released two albums as a leader and is an active sideman in the jazz scenes of Helsinki and New York.
