Thomas New Orleans featuring Sasha Charkin (Ukraine) plays funk, Latin, and jazz tunes with an authentic New Orleans spirit at Vanai's terrace. The group's sound is unique and authentic. Improvisation and steaming ensemble play are the strengths of this lineup.
Kalle Katz plays keyboards in the group. He has a very rooted jazz piano playing style, which is not commonly heard in these parts. The bass register is handled by Kenneth Ojutkangas with his tuba. Kenneth is a multi-instrumentalist who graduated from the Sibelius Academy and plays very versatilely in many different ensembles. The special guest in the group is Sasha Charkin on trombone. Charkin is a top trombonist who fled the war in Ukraine but had performed with many international jazz musicians and ensembles in Ukraine, the USA, and across Europe before the war. The drummer and band leader is Thomas Törnroos, a jazz drummer and percussion artist from Porvoo, who has organized and produced jazz concerts under the name Steamin' Jazz Club in Porvoo and Soul & Jazz Time Out in Loviisa....
