Biography

The collection, released digitally 3 March 2022, contains 25 tracks of which most are previously unreleased. The collection includes tracks from e.g. Koma Saxo, Timo Lassy Trio, Ilmiliekki Quartet, Joona Toivanen Trio, Superposition and Terkel Nørgaard With Ralph Alessi. All proceeds from the collection will be channeled to humanitarian aid in support of the crisis in Ukraine.

We Jazz Records released a compilation album with 25 tracks, which is available at Bandcamp. The proceeds from the album will be directed in their entirety to helping those in need in Ukraine. We Jazz will donate the proceeds of the album to officially verified humanitarian aid actions, details of which will be released later. The songs on the album are donated by the artists, and the collection includes tracks from completely new bands as well as familiar We Jazz artists.

"The crisis in Ukraine is huge and something needs to be done, although sometimes it is difficult to find concrete ways to make a difference," says Matti Nives, artistic director of We Jazz. "As the Russian invasion progresses, it is becoming increasingly important to help somehow, so we set out to come up with a way for us to play our part in supporting Ukraine. At the same time, we are challenging other record labels and cultural players to consider similar projects. Together, we can help. "

The Music For Ukraine collection is available for download at Bandcamp for a minimum price of 7 euros. The buyer of the collection can also specify a higher price for their donation without an upper limit.
