Eesti kitarrist Jaak Sooäär, armeenia-eesti bassist Ara Yaralyan ja soome trummar Markku Ounaskari moodustasid trio 2016. aasta kevadel ning koos on esinetud Saksamaal, Itaalias, Šveitsis, Austrias, Horvaatias, Leedus, Lätis, Eestis ja Soomes. Trio põhjamaise värvinguga muusika keskmes on meloodia, kavas on ka eksootilisi armeenia viise ja improvisatsioone Johann Sebastian Bachi teemadel. Teatud mõttes on tegemist klaveritrioga ilma klaverita, kus kitarr täidab klaverilaadset 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 Eesti Aasta Jazzansambel 2022 tiitli ning 2023. aastal ilmus trio kolmas album "Zula" (AVA Muusika), mis pälvis samuti väga positiivse rahvusvahelise vastukaja.
Jaak Sooäär kuulub Baltikumi aktiivseimate jazzmuusikute hulka, tema koostööpartnerite hulka kuuluvad teiste hulgas 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 kuulvad Euroopa tipud nagu Arve Henriksen, Anders Jormin, Nils Petter Molvaer, Trygve Seim, Kristjan Randalu jt. Ta osaleb paljudel ECMi albumitel.
✍🏼 "Sooääre ärgas meel ning karune elektrikitarri saund, Yaralyani jazz'itraditsioone austav kontrabassikäsitlus ning Ounaskari dünaamiline, hillitsetum "vaatlejahoiak" täiendavad üksteist ning loovad erinevatest isiksustest (ja rahvustest) koosneva huvitava terviku, mis ometigi ei püüdle iga hinna eest millegi enneolematu poole, vaid kulgeb loomulikult, samas pakub kuulajale nii teravamaid elamusi kui meloodilisemat paitust." - Hedvig Hanson, ERRi kultuuriportaal

Estonian guitarist Jaak Sooäär, Armenian/Estonian double bassist Ara Yaralyan and Finnish drummer Markku Ounaskari established the trio in spring 2016. Since then they have performed in Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Croatia, Austria, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Finland. The music of the trio is mostly focused on melody. The trio also performs Armenian music and some improvisations on themes by J. S. Bach. In a way it can be called a piano trio without a piano as guitar takes here the wide range 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. Last year the trio received the prize of The Estonian Jazz Group 2022. The third album by the trio "Zula" was released by AVA Muusika in 2023.
Jaak Sooäär is one of the most active jazz musicians of the Baltics, who has 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.
✍🏼 "The joint album of these creative instrumentalists is really extremely captivating and impressive in expression. Working with dynamics, distinctive melody, congenial harmony, this is a matter of course in all eight compositions; but I haven't heard such instrumental lightness, precision in every note, unsurpassed, ie. meaningful solos (and at the same time great ones, especially the double bass ones are just fabulously blossoming!), a completely natural fusion of modern jazz with traditional folk music." - Ján Hocek, skjazz.sk
