Lingonperry x TamJazz: Quartet Ajaton

Quartet Ajaton is a group founded by singer Mia Simanainen, where highly innovative musicians from diverse backgrounds weave their skills together. The ensemble’s enigmatic instrumentation is likely one of a kind in the entire world! More familiar, however, is found in the quartet’s new program, which features iconic melodies from Finnish culture – tangos, Sibelius, folk tunes, and cattle calls resound, dance and rumble – the music glows and chills, setting the listener’s blood in motion.

Quartet Ajaton is stylistically an independent trailblazer, and its ten-year journey culminates in 2026 with an album release and a record release tour organized by the Finnish Jazz Federation. The ensemble’s third full-length album, Fin, highlights the music’s Finnish roots fittingly during the Jazz in Finland 100 anniversary year. Following the earlier releases Elixir (Eclipse Music 2016) and Early Music in the Latest Way (Alba Records 2020), rules are made to be broken. The languages heard in the songs include Finnish, Swedish and English.
