Hello friends!
Just finished writing on my arrangements of Bo Carpelan’s lyrics. It was a very enjoyable process. The world premiere will be held in Helsinki, Vuotalo on the 5th of February. Please come to listen!
I will present the material with my quintet consisting of singer Johanna Grüssner and of piano master Lars Jansson from Sweden alongside with my old Finnish friends Uffe Krokfors on bass and Markku Ounaskari on drums. I hope to bring this music all over Scandinavia and an album will also be recorded in 2026.
I will do some duo gigs with vibraphonist Severi Pyysalo wich I always enjoy doing. Next week we’ll do a gig in Mariehamn at the Åland Islands. The Archipelago is so beautiful during the Winter season!
I started to do the mixing of my quartet album and I hope I can release it within a couple of months time or so.
I’ll also release some material from a session with Emil Hess that I did earlier on 2025 alongside with some solo guitar stuff.
This all keeps me busy during the first months of the year. Hope to see you at the gigs!
Peace,
Niklas
