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." |
