Kadi Quartet - Stories (2019)

Kadi Vija – vocals
Mikael Myrskog – piano
Pasi Toivanen – bass
Tomi Saikkonen – drums

Kadi Quartet strives to bring forth their outlook on what a jazz quartet can be in the 21st century. Rather than solely bathing in the spotlight, in addition to her own adventurous improvisations, Kadi Vija also redefines the role of a jazz singer by creating backgrounds for the other soloists. By combining the catchiness of pop-music, free improvised music and everything in between, Kadi Quartet makes a strong statement of what jazz is today.

After winning the Finnish leg of the Young Nordic Jazz Comets in 2013 they released their debut album “Stories”. Eclipse Music released the album in Finland and the album was also picked up by Greg Osby’s Inner Cirle label in The United States.
