In Finnish the word "Ääni" refers to the voice as well as sound; the meaning is defined by the context. In the plural, this rich noun so charged with significance becomes "Äänet" : voices, sounds. Rémi Charmasson, Stephan Oliva and Claude Tchamitchian's choice of this word to symbolise their meeting with Jari Hongisto is not innocent; it embodies the essence of the immediate communion they felt with the flamboyant trombonist : voices and sounds blending and responding to each other in astounding manner, in an organic movement impossible to resist. Originally the guest of the Charmasson/Oliva/Tchamitchian trio, Jari becomes the catalyst for a new quartet, totally obvious to whoever cares to plunge their ears into this Aquarian Forest.
