Timo Lassy & Jukka Eskola

A powerful fusion of Scandinavian jazz and New Orleans' rich musical heritage, the upcoming album by Finnish duo Jukka Eskola and Timo Lassy is a remarkable testament to the power of collaboration and connection. Rooted in their long history of playing together, their shared love for jazz and their strong individual sounds which become even stronger when combined, the project was born from a desire to explore and create something unique together.
