Jazz Finland Live

The seed of Roast Quintet started sprouting when Helsinki-born drummer Luostarinen, who was living in Marseille at the time, was visiting Paris in and incidentally met the Oulu-born electric bassist Jouni Isoherranen. Month after this Paris visit, the drummer had a chance to move to Paris, to a commune led and occupied by artists. From the endless jam sessions they found Charley Rose, a sax player who was active in the Parisian jazz scene, and pianist Arnault d'Angely, who was a conservatory teacher. The last piece of the puzzle was found when Finnish trumpet veteran Antero Priha arrived to Paris to keep an artist residence there. 

Petteri Hirvanen Group is a group from Helsinki. The core of the band was born out of the re-erupted jamming culture in the city. The members of the group are changing and varied, based on music and occasion. Almost every time guest stars can be seen on stage and other surprises take place. For this concert, they are playing original songs of Petteri and songs of Montgomery, Davis, Beck, Cobham, Mahavishnu, Hancock, Coltrane for example.
