Biography Aapo Heinonen Quintet
Aapo Heinonen Quintet
is a melodically swinging and open-minded jazz group that combines on stage with a unique way the best qualities of an ensemble and an orchestra. Structurally the compositions are made more for a big band than for a jazz ensemble, but still there is lots of room for improvisation and communication. From the compositions you can find lots of influences from jazz, latin, fusion, world music and film music. Aapo Heinonen is in charge of the compositions of the group but the arrangements are done in a close cooperation with the band.
The group has played together since Summer of 2009. Presence Records released group's debut album "A Daydream Between Nightmares" in 2010 that got a warm welcome from both the audience and the experts on the field. The second album of the band, "Healing Flows", was released in the beginning of 2013.
