Jazzliiton kiertueella/On Jazz Federation Tour: Kasperi Sarikoski Nuance at Ravintola Kolme Lyhtyä

Led by the eponymous trombonist, Kasperi Sarikoski & Nuance is one of the most interesting newcomers of the Finnish jazz scene.Despite drawing from as far and wide as indie rock and electronic music, this young group does not hold eclecticism as a value in itself but rather as a springboard to original, distinctive sound. Acoustic and electric instruments and effects are used to create a sonic palette that incorporates a wide variety of different tones and timbres.

Indierockista ja elektronisesta musiikista vaikutteita ammentava Kasperi Sarikoski & Nuance on tämän hetken kotimaisen jazzkentän kiinnostavimpia tapauksia.
Itseisarvo genrerajojen rikkominen ei kuitenkaan ole, vaan väline vahvaan ja erottuvaan ilmaisuun. Vuonna 2013 perustetun viisikon palettiin kuuluu laaja kirjo sävyjä ja sointeja, joita tuotetaan sekä akustisin että sähköisin soittimin ja efektein. Lopputuloksena on omintakeinen yhtyesoundi, joka luo perustan pasunisti Kasperi Sarikosken sävellyksille.
Huomiota yhtyeelle toi 2015 julkaistu debyyttialbumi Essence (Fredriksson Music), joka keräsi kehuja niin kuulijoilta kuin kriitikoilta.
