Jazz Finland Live

Mighty Mighty is jazz sextet from Finland, lead by pianist-composer Kari Setälä. This collective of Helsinki jazz A-listers navigates effortlessly between various flavours of jazz, leaping from energetic straight-ahead into swinging hard-bop and vintage jazz-funk – and everything in between. "See The Light" (2014), the band's recording debut on Milan's Schema Records, is a stylistically diverse, yet solid selection of tasteful compositions and arrangements, virtuosic and energetic performances, strong band interplay and irresistable grooves.

"Tremendous swinging hard bop from a great Finnish band lead by pianist Kari Setala. The musicianship is superb and tight throughout. Backyard Boogie and Karma are full-on dancefloor jazz killers. This excellent album could turn out to be one of the best jazz albums of 2014. " (Echoes Magazine, UK)

"A great debut from an ultra-jazzy combo from the Finnish scene. Leader Kari Setala's got a mighty great touch on both piano and keyboards." (Dusty Groove, USA)

"Plenty plenty grooves on here! Very nice." (Chris Phillips, Jazz FM, UK)
