Britta Virves
«Juniper»
CD Release Heartcore Records

Britta Virves is an award-winning pianist and composer from Saaremaa, Estonia. She is now based in Stockholm, Sweden, where she has collaborated with many of Sweden’s finest jazz musicians. In addition to her own trio she performs with Swedish Grammy-nominated artists Joakim Milder and Norrbotten Big Band, Genevieve Artadi, Håkan Broström, Karin Hammar and Hannes Bennich. Heartcore Records is excited to present her debut album Juniper, a deeply autobiographical work, joined by Jonas Bäckman on drums and Jon Henriksson on bass, with Kurt Rosenwinkel on guitar featured as a guest.
Her compositions are narratively clear and harmonically modern meditations on the wonder of nature, ecological webs of interconnectedness, and the people and places she calls home. Juniper was chosen as TOP 10 Best Albums of 2022 in Dagens Nyheter, the largest and most influential newspaper in Sweden. It is also nominated for Jazz Album of the Year at the Estonian Music Awards 2023.
Junipers can be found all over Saaremaa, Estonia, the island where Virves was born. The hardy tree has become a symbol of resilience and protection for her that roots her to the memory of her home. This deeply emotional sense of storytelling and place informs many of the compositions on Juniper. Virves’ tender melodies, Henriksson’s sonorous bass, and Bäckman’s elegant cymbal rolls evoke the grandeur of a nuanced and groove-filled world, and a gorgeous metaphorical ode to their own intrepid musical discoveries.
One of Scandinavia´s main music magazines Lira also compares the expansive openness between timbres to the late Esbjörn Svensson Trio.

When I hear Britta play, I hear a connected soul who’s able to communicate through the touch and sound of the piano. Her trio is in sync with this sensitivity and together, they create a highly dynamic and satisfying listening experience

Kurt Rosenwinkel.
A few music creators have managed to achieve a balance between linguistic brilliance, emotional charge and genuine trust. Britta Virves belongs to this rare crowd and Juniper is a wonderful manifestation of her rhetorical ability. Carefully and patiently created stories that rarely follow the expected path. You simply cannot stop listening.”

Joakim Milder (Grammy-nominated Swedish saxophonist, composer and arranger, Golden Disc 2022 winner and artistic director of Norrbotten Big Band)
