NYC jazz organ wizard Brian Charette embarks on a 3 week Nordic tour with guitarist Mathias Sandberg and drummer Teppo Mäkynen in September–October.
Brian Charette has released more than 20 albums under his own name, and has performed with many notable artists such as Joni Mitchell, Paul Simon, Chaka Khan, Vinnie Colaiuta, Dave Weckl, John Patitucci and George Coleman.
Mathias Sandberg used to be referred to as "Finland's best kept secret" - today he tours internationally with over 100 shows a year. His albums has received huge critical acclaim in both the United States and Europe
Teppo Mäkynen is an award-winning drummer, producer and DJ. He's been an integral part of the Finnish jazz scene for the past 30 years and has appeared on more than 150 albums.
On this Nordic tour the trio will perform some of Charette's and Sandberg's grooviest tunes, as well as some classics from the soul-jazz canon. Their last tour was very successful and almost all of the concerts sold out.
