SOOÄÄR/YARALYAN/OUNASKARI
(english below)
Eesti kitarrist Jaak Sooäär, armeenia-eesti bassist Ara Yaralyan ja soome trummar Markku Ounaskari moodustasid 2016. aastal trio, mille tegutsemisaastate jooksul on jõutud paljudele maailma lavadele Baltikumist Balkanini. 2026. aastat alustavad nad just Philly Joe’s jazziklubis!
Trio põhjamaise värvinguga muusika keskmes on meloodia. Nende kavas on ka eksootilisi armeenia viise ja improvisatsioone Johann Sebastian Bachi teemadel. Teatud mõttes on tegemist klaveritrioga ilma klaverita, kus kitarr täidab klaverilaadset ja laia ulatusega orkestri rolli. Triol on ilmunud kolm albumit, millest kaks, „A Shooting Star“ (2018) ja "Goodbye July" (2020), on välja andnud tuntud saksa plaadifirma O-Tone Music. Mõlemad plaadid on saanud väga soosivaid arvustusi nii Saksamaal kui Eestis. Kaks aastat tagasi pälvis trio tiitli Eesti Aasta Jazzansambel 2022 ning 2023. aastal ilmus koosseisu kolmas album "Zula" (AVA Muusika), mis pälvis samuti väga positiivse rahvusvahelise vastukaja.
Jaak Sooäär kuulub Baltikumi aktiivsemate jazzmuusikute hulka, tema koostööpartnerite seas Ray Anderson, Han Bennink, Will Calhoun, Aleksei Kruglov, Anders Jormin, Dave Liebman ja Vladimir Tarasov.
Bassist Ara Yaralyani teatakse väljaspool Eestit Kari Ikonen Triost, teiste seas on ta koostööd teinud ka Ingrid Jenseni, Vardan Ovsepiani ja Verneri Pohjolaga.
Markku Ounaskari on Põhjamaade hinnatumaid trummareid, kelle partnerite hulka kuuluvad Euroopa tipud nagu Arve Henriksen, Anders Jormin, Nils Petter Molvaer, Trygve Seim, Kristjan Randalu jt. Ta on mänginud paljudel ECMi albumitel.

—————
Estonian guitarist Jaak Sooäär, Armenian-Estonian bassist Ara Yaralyan, and Finnish drummer Markku Ounaskari formed a trio in 2016 which has over the years, performed on many stages around the world from the Baltics to the Balkans. At the start of 2026 they will present their music at Philly Joe's Jazz Club!
The nordic palate of their music is mostly focused on melody, but they also perform Armenian music and improvisations on themes by J. S. Bach. In a way they can be called a piano trio but without a piano, as the guitar covers the wide range and orchestral role of the piano. The trio released the debut album "A Shooting Star" on German label O-Tone Music in October 2018 and their second album “Goodbye July” was released by the same label in October 2020. The trio received the prize of The Estonian Jazz Group 2022. Their third album "Zula" was released by AVA Muusika in 2023.
Jaak Sooäär is one of the most active jazz musicians of the Baltics, having performed with Ray Anderson, Daniel Erdmann, Anders Jormin, Han Bennink, Will Calhoun, Dave Liebman, Marilyn Mazur and Vladimir Tarasov among others.
Ara Yaralyan is known for his work in Kari Ikonen Trio, he has also collaborated with Ingrid Jensen, Vardan Ovsepian and Verneri Pohjola to name a few.
The most well-known member of the trio is Markku Ounaskari, who regularly collaborates with artists such as Arve Henriksen, Anders Jormin, Nils Petter Molvaer, Trygve Seim, Markus Stockhausen, Tore Brunborg, Mats Eilertsen and Lena Willemark and appears on several ECM albums.
