Eero Savela

With Way To, Eero Savela steps forward as a composer and solo artist, shaping a jazz album that is as personal as it is expansive. Every composition on the record is his own, reflecting the sounds he wants to share with audiences - sounds that speak, question, and evolve.

Way To is more than just compositions on paper - it’s a living, breathing dialogue between seasoned musicians. Seppo Kantonen (Wurlitzer electric piano), Joonas Leppänen (drums), Eero Tikkanen (double bass), and guest artist Erno Haukkala (trombone on two tracks) each bring their distinct voices into the mix, elevating the music beyond its initial framework. Their improvisational interplay and musical conversations deepen the album’s essence, creating a rich, evolving soundscape that transforms the listening experience.

Sonically, Way To exists in a space between contemporary jazz and ’70s jazz-funk - melding modern expression with the groove-driven energy of an earlier era. Through this collaboration, Savela not only presents his own compositions - he also uncovers new dimensions within his own sound.
