French cellist Vincent Courtois has invited tenor saxophonists Daniel Erdmann and Robin Fincker to form a singular trio with an unprecedented instrumentation. They tour Poland, Latvia and Estonia before they hit the Finnish soil, and join forces with Mikko Innanen & Innkvisitio for an eight-concert tour in Finland.
This is the first Free Voices and Sounds tour in 2014, and the 25th in total, throughout the quarter-decade of co-operation with the Finnish Jazz Federation. The official anniversary concert takes place in Espoo’s Sellosali on Thursday the 13th of March.
