Jazz Finland Live

A flagbearer of free improvisation, drummer Chris Corsano first landed in Finland in summer 2005, just after the release of the cult recording, Steel Sleet, made in collaboration with saxophonist Paul Flaherty on Finnish label Tyyfus. On this visit, Corsano played his way into the hearts of the Finnish audience. In the past ten years the same has happened on a larger scale: Corsano’s uncompromised attitude and bursting energy have earned him a place in the vanguard of free jazz and experimental music.

To our delight, Corsano has performed on the Finnish soil relatively often, appearing on stage with such figures as Evan Parker and Joe McPhee. In Harviala the drummer performs with Taco Bells sax player Sami Pekkola.
