Transatlanttiset is a chamber jazz collective, founded in 2018. Led by Finnish flautist & vocalist Josefiina Vannesluoma, American bassist Lowell Ringel, and Finnish trumpeter Tomi Nikku, this chamber jazz ensemble combines high levels of artistry with close personal and musical synergy. Each of these rising stars brings their unique musical heritage to both their compositional and improvisational contributions to the ensemble. Equally important to this intriguing instrumentation are drummer Jesse Ojajärvi and cellist Mila Laine. The music moves in malleable landscapes of crossing melodies, free expression, and tight grooves, as shown in their debut album release "Geodesics", published on March 20, 2020.
