Jazz Finland Live

Star pianist & composer Iiro Rantala has teamed up with young up-and-coming Finnish musicians. Flock is his first group with Finnish musicians in a decade. The exciting new quartet performs material written by Rantala himself and their music is melodic, groovy and filled with young energy. At G Livelab Helsinki Rantala performs alongside singer Maja Mannila, bassist Johannes Granroth and drummer Severi Sorjonen, known from the ranks of fusion-neo-soul-rockers Peela and Maja Mannila Band.
