Timo Lassy Trio

**Timo Lassy Trio** serves up fiery Nordic jazz with a soulful backbone, led by Finnish tenor sax powerhouse Timo Lassy. Known for his bold, bluesy tone and knack for crafting hypnotic grooves, Lassy has been a cornerstone of Helsinki’s vibrant jazz scene since the early 2000s. The trio format—often featuring dynamic rhythm section collaborators—showcases his love for raw, unfiltered improvisation and punchy, melodic hooks that nod to classic hard bop and ’60s soul-jazz. Recent live releases like *Live In Helsinki* and *Moves (Live)* capture their electric stage energy, blending Lassy’s originals with reimagined jazz standards. Whether in smoky clubs or festival stages, the trio’s chemistry feels both timeless and refreshingly alive.
