“This is amazing jazz with highly talented Euro-players who are sculpting out the future of jazz, while building on the most celebrated forms/experiments of the past.” Improvijazzation Nation
“Finland was representing, via the fascinating, feisty band Mikko Innanen & Innkvisitio, guided by the strong, free-minded alto saxist, and with keyboardist Seppo Kantonen winning special points for originality. Think Ornette Coleman in a honky tonk, updated and glazed with dry Finnish wit.” DOWN BEAT
Innkvisitio will celebrate its 10th anniversary in 2014.
