I just discovered this young cat from Finland...he's a fun player and has got a great sound. Anyone else come across his music or seen him live? I see he's in New York in Nov/Dec...Olli...hope you come out to DjangoFest NW sometime soon!

Here's a link to his site:

Check out this great clip of him playing with Bar Zalel and Christiaan van Hermet, IGGF 2011

Yes, I jammed with him at Samois this year -- he was hanging out at the AJL tent. (AJL himself plays rhythm with Olli!) He's a super nice guy and plays really well.

Hey Phil:

I've been enjoying his playing on this:
