In the music of the band Uusi Aika, you can hear reflections of e.g. folk music, Japanese aesthetics, early 20th century art music, and jazz traditions. The band’s organic music plays unhurriedly and thoughtfully – at the core of everything is a calm acoustic sound and melodiousness, without forgetting free improvisation. The band’s debut album Uusi Aika was released in November 2022 by WeJazz Records.
