"Volcanic Finnish reedist" DOWN BEAT “Employing saxophones in all sizes (and occasionally a whistle), Innanen staked his claim as the Finnish jazzman of import…” JAZZTIMES ”Innanen, who exhibits great control over his vocabulary of squeals and squawks, can also play it straight on his horns when he wants to.” THE IAJRC JOURNAL “But the star here is Innanen's take on past and present jazz tradition. His multi-part compositions, not such a far cry from Mingus's volatile style, have enough meat to sustain deconstruction and evade the trap of eclecticism” THE WIRE |

Mikko Innanen & Innkvisitio: Clustrophy "HEY – if you don’t get another CD this year – GET THIS ONE! Listeners who can’t be without the latest & greatest in jazz will kick themselves if they overlook this one!" Improvijazznation Magazine "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 Great new reviews of Clustrophy: PopMatters, New York Music Daily, All About Jazz (Eyal Hareuveni), All About Jazz (Jerry D’Souza), Canadian Audiophile, Jazmuzic, Improvijazznation Magazine, Something Else!
"Clustrophy introduces us to a new incarnation of Mikko Innanen & Innkvisitio, a group led by the highly talented and increasingly well-known Finnish saxophonist Mikko Innanen. Whereas the group´s first recording, Paa-da-pap (TUM CD 019) in 2007, featured a quartet of Finns, Clustrophy show-cases a five-piece band with a truly pan-European three-some of saxophonists: Mikko Innanen from Finland, Fredrik Ljungkvist from Sweden and Daniel Erdmann from Germany." |
