Live Jazz London

Influences: Jaco Pastorius, Charlie Haden

Finnish bassist and bandleader Kaisa Mäensivu leads a contemporary jazz ensemble that channels Scandinavian sensibility through the harmonic sophistication of the modern New York scene. Her composing and bass work draw from both Nordic folk tradition and post-bop technical mastery, creating texturally distinctive music that sets her apart in today's international jazz landscape.
