about

Live At Club Helsinki is an epic double album that showcases the band's genre-leaping improvisational acumen, with the music visiting touchstones as disparate as Studio One, John Cage, 70's era Miles Davis, Gnawa and drum'n'bass.

“Live At Club Helsinki is one of those rare recordings that points in a viable direction for the future of creative music and its near two-hour running time goes by in a flash… an accessible blend of styles that is unmatched by any current offerings. Highly recommended.” – Karl Ackermann, AllAboutJazz

No surprise these songs have been written under the influence of a steady big city pulse. The esthetic is there, the musical ideas evolve inexorably to an open end. freejazzy
