“Beyond Standards”

Tuuli Põldvee is a young bassist from Pärnu, Estonia. She began her musical journey as a flutist, but later discovered rhythm music and the bass guitar, which have since become her primary focus. She is currently in her second year of bass guitar studies in the Rhythm Music Department at the Tallinn School of Music and Ballet. Tuuli has participated in numerous festivals and competitions, including Jazzkaar, Koolijazz, the Round Table competition, and the Uno Naissoo Composition Competition, and has been active in various ensembles across Estonia. Over the past year, she has focused primarily on original music with her band Friction. Her diverse musical background has led her to explore a range of genres, but her deepest affinities lie in neo-soul, R&B, and funk.

For her final residency concert, Tuuli Põldvee brings music from the world of fusion and contemporary jazz — artists who have graced major stages and shaped the sound of modern jazz. The programme features selected works from Moses Yoofee Trio, Shaun Martin, Larnell Lewis and Kenny Garrett.
