Vespera Quartet

Martti Vesala: trumpet
Aino Juutilainen: cello
Mikko Antila: vibraphone
Joonas Tuuri: double bass

The ensemble brings together some of today’s most exciting Finnish musicians active in jazz and improvised music. They perform original compositions by its members, leveraging their unique lineup’s arranging possibilities as well as each instrument’s special techniques and tonal characteristics to create a richly textured soundscape.

Vespera Quartet’s music is cinematic and melodic, blending small-group jazz, modern classical, and improvisation. Their arrangements are characterised by a sense of space, airiness, and playfulness.
