A multi talented jazz group formed in Gothenburg in the autumn of 2006. Their music combines the tonal qualities of modern jazz with classical and folk influences. The compositions of Pauli Lyytinen and Joonas Kuusisto are colourful in melody and rich in humour. With almost a childlike quality in the composition these are still the works of seasoned professionals. Imaginetive and technically brilliant.
