Six young and talented bands got on stage at the annual Young Nordic Jazz Comets showcase in Norway's Trondheim yesterday night. For the first time the event took place within Europe Jazz Network's General Assembly. EJN is the network for European jazz professionals, so Kadi Quartet got an audience of festival promoters, concert organizers, jazz media and other key figures in the industry.
In addition to Kadi Quartet, the YNJC showcase featured the Swedish Casey Moir Band, Bárður Reinert Poulsen Quartet from the Faroe Islands, Icelandic Skarkali Trio, Norway's own Pixel and the Danish duo Crunch House.
After the YNJC Kadi Quartet begins the recordings of their debut album, which is to be released in the spring and celebrated with the Finnish Jazz Federation's tour in Finland.
