Jazz Finland Live

Hans Olding - Jaska Lukkarinen Quartet released their debut, Far From Rio, almost exactly a year ago. Far from Rio perhaps physically, the atmosphere of the city is, however, firmly present in the compelling swing and melodicity of the group's music. The album revolves around such themes as love of jazz and related genres, the restless existence of a touring musician and life up north, in Scandinavia, far from the madding crowd. Nevertheless, it is travels that have inspired the group to write and the result could be described as modern European jazz music.

In Kuopio, Manuel Dunkel will, exceptionally, stand in for saxophonist Karl-Martin Almqvist. Some compositions by the substituting sax man will be heard in addition to the quartet’s own material.

Hans Olding – guitar
Jaska Lukkarinen – drums
Manuel Dunkel – sax
Mattias Welin – double bass
