The record
A 1964 snapshot of Finland's young jazz vanguard, with Heikki Sarmanto, Juhani Aaltonen, and Pekka Pöyry all present before their careers fully bloomed, gathered under Pethman's flute-led compositions. A rare document of Nordic jazz finding its own modern voice, cut for a domestic audience rather than export.
