Jazz Finland Live

Jukka Perko Avara approaches music with their mind open. You hardly ever get structurally conventional pieces but then Avara do not really fall into the category of free jazz either. It is the composition with its melodic, harmonic and dynamic qualities that this trio explores in a very unique way.
