Jazz Finland Live

Drummer Tatu Rönkkö and guitarist Kalle Kalima played together for the first time in the mountains of South Tyrol, at the Alto Adige festival, which had set them up to a ‘blind date’ gig with singer Andreas Schaerer. Both had left Finland to live abroad at different times, so it was a natural meeting place for free improvisation. Enthusiastic about the experience, they played some gigs in Berlin and Hamburg as a duo. Their joint musical direction was condensed into a free and spontaneous collective of compositions, which orientate towards minimal rock and electronic music.
