Strandberg Project was founded in 1995 shortly after the release of the album “At The Music Box” and the band’s first tour was in Sweden in 1996. The idea was to collaborate with different musicians from different genres and create something new together.  The Works contains 4 CDs: “Creativity” was mainly recorded during 2022. The album contains both studio and live recordings. The latest studio recordings were made in November 2022 with Juhani Aaltonen (Tasavallan Presidentti). “The Nordic Treatment” contains material from recordings made with Paul Jackson (Herbie Hancock). Paul visited Finland a total of four times as a guest of the Strandberg Project and during these visits a lot of recordings were made. In 2022, all existing material was carefully reviewed and remixed and edited. The now released album represents the fruits of the collaboration. “Made In Finland Updated” represents perhaps the most progressive side of the Strandberg Project, with Kimmo Pörsti on drums and as co-producer. Michael Manring, one of the world’s most respected bassists, and Jenny Darren from England, with whom the group did two tours in addition to studio recordings, are also guests on the album. “Progressive Construction” is Strandberg Project’s band album from 2018. On the album, keyboard player Jukka Gustavson (Wigwam) also plays a significant role as a composer. The WORKS feature following musicians (among others): Paul Jackson, vocals, bass & keyboards Jan-Olof Strandberg, bass (4,5,6 string bass,fretless bass & upright bass) Sami Virtanen, guitar Jukka Gustavson, keyboards & vocals Jartsa Karvonen, drums & percussion Michael Manring: fretless hybrid bass Matias Kupiainen: guitar Juhani Aaltonen, flute For more: Click Here

EURACHORD is a project born from the alliance of three outstanding musicians and composers in Rome, Veneto and Brussels during the C19 lockdown: Aidan Zammit on pianos and synthesisers, Lorenzo Feliciati on bass and Gianni Vancini on saxophones. The three protagonists are all credited for collaborating with numerous renowned artists in Italy and around the world. The album was conceived and created during the months of immobility caused by the pandemic. It immediately bloomed into an homage to the music and composers that the trio grew up listening to – a journey through their roots. This is a high-calibre release, fusing the souls of the three leading figures in Eurachord with the artistry of illustrious guests Maxx Furian on drums and Martin Verdonk on percussion – a record to be listened to all at once, made of virtuosity and deep sonic exploration, with compositions and melodies that steer away from well-worn clichés, at times poignant, and always captivating.  Stream the album: Here
