EESTI JAZZLIIT

Jana Kütt

“Music is a land of opportunities. I feel the desire to experiment and take up new challenges. I need variety in life as well as in music, it’s necessaey for creativity and development. From free impro to pop, from folk to jazz- that’s how the passion and interest keeps on burning. There’s so much to discover!” 

 

Jana is a jazz-singer, composer, lyricist, arranger, vocal teacher and radio show host from Estonia.

Her main focus is on See Pole See Trio that recycles soviet era pop-songs in estonian into three layered textiles. It has a touch of scandinavian soundscapes, a hint of pop harmonies and improvised freedom. SPS Trio unites vocals, saxophone, bass, accordeon and FX making it an unusual blend of solo instruments.

See Pole See Trio translates as ‘this ain’t that trio’.

In the Fall of 2021 their debut album will be released.
