Bäckström/Friman/Jensen (FI/DK) on uusi yhteistyö suomalaisten muusikoiden Lassi Frimanin (kitara), Jonathan Bäckströmin (basso) ja tanskalaisen rumpali Jens Emil Jensenin kesken. Jokainen muusikoista on jättänyt jälkensä niin paikallisessa jazz-skenessä, kuin myös kansainvälisestikin, ja tällä triolla he pyrkivät luomaan uutta, jännittävää pohjoismaista soundia. Trion juuret ovat perinteisessä standardijazzissa, mutta yhdessä he pyrkivät musiikissaan moderniin ja luovaan ilmaisuun.

Bäckström/Friman/Jensen
Bäckström/Friman/Jensen (BFJ) is an acoustic jazz trio with members from Finland/Denmark. The group consists of emerging musicians: Finnish (Stockholm based)) bassist Jonathan Bäckström, Helsinki based Finnish guitarist Lassi Friman and Aarhus based Danish drummer Jens Emil Jensen. The trio has previously performed in Finland and recently toured in Denmark..
The trio's energetic interplay, dance-like sense of rhythm and emphasis on storytelling makes a convincing musical statement. Their upcoming debut album consists of repertoire from each member of the trio and the music has a strong collective feel. The group takes inspiration from late -50s post/hard bop, contemporary groovy jazz, not being afraid to experiment and push the limits of these genres. It is a group effort that pays homage to the music of yesterday while reaching for tomorrow.
Jonathan Bäckström is a bassist/composer currently based in Stockholm where he is pursuing master-studies at the Royal College of Music. His group Jonathan Bäckström Quartet is an emerging name from the Finnish (free)jazz scene. His most notable work is with his own quartet which released their self-titled debut album on the Finnish record label We Jazz Records in the spring of 2024. Being an in-demand side musician, Bäckströms playing can be heard with the critically acclaimed Ida Alanen trio and many, many other projects.
Lassi Friman is a Finnish guitarist/composer based in Helsinki. He is currently finishing his master studies at the prestigious Sibelius Academy and is an in-demand musician and composer. He is well known within the local scene for hosting regular jam sessions at various clubs around Helsinki.
Jens Emil Jensen is a well-known name to anyone familiar with the Aarhus jazzscene. He is a drummer/composer who hosts the go-to jam session in Aarhus, ”Aarhus Jazz jam”. His bandleading and playing can be heard with the group Odd Pocket. His creative work stretches outside of jazz being a busy side musician within the Danish music scene.
