Pekka Toivonen Ensemble Neue
Pekka Toivonen Ensemble Neue is a 10+ version of Pekka Toivonen Ensemble. The debut album In the Bottom of the Ancient Ocean (Kasino Records 2019) was defined as “not the daily consensus jazz” (Huvudstadsbladet). Following the outside-the-box-attitude of composer Toivonen, his septet is boldly mixing musical genres from free jazz to classical — keeping it live, fresh, raw and real. P/T/E/N is currently working on a new release. Stay tuned!
