Ohne, a Finnish-German jazz trio was formed in the beginning of year 2010 by vibraphonist Panu Savolainen. The unique line up, with saxophonist/clarinetist Jens Böckamp and guitarist Olli Hirvonen, makes the trio sound fresh and interesting. Ohne plays original music by all of its members. The music is based strongly on jazz tradition and improvisation, with the trios acoustic sound as an important flavor. The trio won the Young Nordic Jazz Comets Finnish competition in 2010 and after that has played at major jazz festivals in Finland.
