Various Artists

The album "Berlin 27.10.17" was recorded at club Monarch located in Berlin's Kottbusser Tor during the second annual Scope Festival (a collaborative effort of Berlin's XJAZZ and We Jazz). The dense atmosphere of the packed club is present in the recordings which showcase three major acts from the vibrant Finnish scene. Musically, the album ranges from the undeniable swing of Jaska Lukkarinen Trio's "Roger" and Bowman Trio's "The Hillary Step" to the scorching updated version of Black Motor's "Branches", subtitled here as "Berliner Musik".
