Superposition

Superposition is a new explosive group from Helsinki. Led by drummer Olavi Louhivuori, the quartet features Linda Fredriksson and Adele Sauros on saxes and Mikael Saastamoinen on bass. Louhivuori is known from his solo projects, his band Oddarrang, plus his inspired work with the likes of Tomasz Stanko. Fredriksson is best known from a highly acclaimed solo album Juniper, as well as jazz group Mopo. Mikael Saastamoinen is a multitalented musician/producer/composer whose works range from avant garde/noise solo projects to Finnish jazz supergroup OK:KO. Sauros ranks among the most noteworthy new rising stars in the Finnish scene. Adele leads her own groups Adele Sauros Quartet, Katu Kaiku and JAF Trio. On their debut album including 8 original compositions (6 by Louhivuori and one each by Fredriksson and Saastamoinen), Superposition present a powerful statement rich in musical ideas and solid in their execution. This is music for repeated listening, deep and darkly-toned yet bursting with the intensity and joy of the new group. All throughout the album's different moods, Superposition sound remarkably together. Superposition won the award for the Jazz album of the year at annual Finnish Emma Awards in 2020 and is about to release their second highly anticipated album "II" in July 2024 on We Jazz Records.
