THE first album - urban sagas of northern cities

The idea was unique: once a decade the top jazz musicians of Finland - most leaders of their own bands - join forces to create and album of new originally composed Finnish jazz. Two such records has already been made, first year 2017 and second 2024. First album told urban sagas of the light summer nights and cold and dark winters at the northern cities.
