Jussi

Jussi Lampela is one of the most sought-after composers and arrangers in Finnish jazz. In 2010, he recorded the acclaimed album "Lampela X Eskola" for Helsinki's Ricky-Tick Records with the Nonet featuring Jukka Eskola on trumpet. His other recent collaborations include projects with the UMO Jazz Orchestra, Vantaan Viihdeorkesteri, drummer Teppo Mäkynen's new ensemble Teddy's West Coasters, and Iiro Rantala. Lampela has also worked extensively with film scores.

Jussi Syren and the Groundbreakers has been playing their hard driving style of bluegrass almost 30 years. Besides their native Finland they have been performing in six European countries and nine US States. Their albums have received highlight reviews in music media – such as Bluegrass Unlimited and Country Music People.

On their latest album the internationally acclaimed Jussi Fredriksson Trio shares musical anecdotes on the beautiful yet vulnerable Archipelago Sea. The trio’s rooted new sound is ecologic and warm in nature.
