Album Notes

Weekend Guitar Trio is from Estonia, Europe. Consisting of three outstanding guitar players with most diverse musical backgrounds, Weekend Guitar Trio produces composed and improvised music for electric guitars & live electronics. Their unorthodox sound combines the improvisation of modern jazz and the traditional music of various world cultures, as Chris Rivituso of Moscow Times has put it.

ROBERT JÃœRJENDAL (1966) has studied classical guitar & composition at Tallinn Music School. He has written music for films, theatre, art exhibitions and performance projects. Robert has participated in various Robert Fripp's Guitar Craft courses and performance projects (tour with the Berlin Guitar Ensemble in august 1996). He is also working with several musicians as a producer & composer. His musical influences are contemporary electric music, ethno music and ambient soundscapes.

TÕNIS LEEMETS (1972) has studied guitar & composition and is currently studying electronic music at the Tallinn Music Academy. He is a freelance producer/guitarist and performs dance music with several local DJs and his own project Treee. He has composed music for films, art exhibitions and dance shows.

MART SOO (1964) has studied jazz guitar at Tallinn Music School and played improvisational music with Christoph Gallio, Samm Bennett, David Simons, Lisa Karrer, Jason Hwang, Vladimir Tarasov's Baltic Art Orchestra, Takashi Kazamaki, Tunnetusüksus, Kalle A. Laar and Skirmantas Sasnauskas. He has composed music for performances, theatre and radio plays, exhibitions and films and performed in Europe, Japan and the USA.

Weekend Guitar Trio has 4 albums to their credit. Their current release "Aim" was recorded in early 2003 and has been described as their best effort to date. Drawing influences from jazz and ambient to progressive rock and dixieland (!), the album features 14 tracks of contemporary instrumental music that according to some enthusiastic fans will redifine the word " guitar".

Aime Hansen of the Nädal Magazine writes: "The Weekend Guitar Trio plays music that I would call psychedelic jazz. At their concert I felt as if I was in curved space, where the laws of 3-dimensional physics are not valid." If that sounds like a place to be, Weekend Guitar Trio is most definitely as good as it gets.
