Portuguese guitarist Andre Fernandes and guest players add richness and texture to the trio sound which incorporates electronics and synthesised moods and tones.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor more than 15 years Alexi Tuomarila has been quietly building a considerable reputation as one of the finest pianists of his generation in Europe. In 2003 he signed with Warner Jazz France, releasing the album '02' ', which brought him worldwide attention and critical acclaim. He shared the stage with some of the biggest names in jazz, his international career and talent fast developing when, without warning, Warner Jazz ditched their jazz and classical department. He then worked for a decade with Polish trumpeter legend  Tomasz Stanko, playing piano on the acclaimed album Dark Eyes for ECM Records, and collaborated with his current drummer Olavi Louhivuori (Oddarrang) with whom he continues to record for Edition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlexi Tuomarila has three highly successful albums on Edition, Seven Hills (2014), Kingdom (2017) \u0026amp; Sphere (2019).\u003cp\u003eTowards Dark Light\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGaman\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWatchtower Hill\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInner Wasteland\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAugust\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoreeni\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAether\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCircle\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54419480707457,"sku":"2487295","price":14.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/5060509792788.jpg?v=1750562272","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/2487295","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
