Irma Neumuller & Seth Sjostrom are two Swedish jazz musicians and composers based in Berlin. Their collaboration began as early as 2020 at Skurups Folk High School, where they quickly connected through their shared love of jazz and improvisation. In this project, they come together in an intimate duo setting, interpreting jazz standards, original compositions, and selected favorites from the Swedish pop and folk music repertoire. The contrasts between Irma and Seth-both as musicians and as individuals-are explored. The result is a unique and intimate sound that sheds new light on both the compositions and themselves. Over the past few years, Irma and Seth have performed in various ensembles across Sweden and the rest of Northern Europe, and both have made a name for themselves on the Nordic jazz scene.

Finding the Way, the new Prophone release by the Maratone Quintet and a follow up to 2008's Setting Out, represents the present sound of Scandinavian jazz at it's best. The characteristic energy and voltage of their live performances is strongly represented on this new album. Influences for the music come from musicians Dave Douglas and the Esbj�rn Svensson Trio, to name but two of several. Their frontline of trumpet and guitar, and techniques used by the musicians, creates a unique and personal touch for the band, in addition to their maturing compositional and playing talents.

The new album by Tonight At Noon, a quintet of respected members of the contemporary Finnish jazz scene led by drummer Andr� Sumelius, follows the group's critically acclaimed 2011 debut "To Mingus With Love". Since that time the group has performed at nearly all Finnish festivals of significance and successfully completed an extensive domestic tour of Finland organized by the Finnish Jazz Federation."People, Stories and Dreams" features seven dynamic, energetic compositions by a trio of the group's personnel, works forged in the crucible of many live performances.

Hit it!

The award-winning, Helsinki-based tenor/soprano saxophonist Joonatan Rautio has performed with many top Finnish and International artists, among whom Jim Beard, Randy Brecker, Jon Balke, Jukkis Uotila, Lars Danielsson, Anders Jormin, Ron McClure, Peter Erskine and Finland's UMO Jazz Orchestra are offered as examples. He has led many of his own groups, appeared on dozens of recordings, and as a player is well known for his virtuosity, soloing acumen and vitality. His musical background is firmly rooted in the jazz tradition. Commitment, on Prophone, is his latest trio's latest release.

Dayna Stephens, one of the most interesting saxophonists of his generation, stars on A Week Ago Today, together with bandmates Andr� Sumelius, George Kontrafouris and Teemu Viinikainen.Drummer and producer Andr� Sumelius, who befriended Stephens while doing concerts and recordings together in San Francisco and, later on, NYC, and wanted to bring Dayna to Finland to record, envisioned the project from the start. Dayna Stephens' melodic compositions make up the majority of the album's music, but a few of Sumelius' compositions and one from Kontrafouris round out the production.

Healing Flows is the Aapo Heinonen Quintet's sophomore effort. The quintet's young musicians are multi-faceted, award-winning virtuosos in the Finnish jazz arena, but the striking music on this album is closer to modern big band played with a small ensemble than the traditional Finnish jazz these players grew up with.
