I'm a independent artist (jazz-pianist, drummer, multi-instrumentalist producer, arranger) from Helsinki, Finland.

Vibraphonist, composer and educator. Ilkka’s unique touch on vibraphone always defines the sound of the band he plays in. His broad experience with many styles of music has led him to play in numerous bands such as Uxila Exile, Tomi Nikku 5tet, The Watercolors, Uusi Jazzi Klubi and Zenux.

Ilkka has performed with successful Finnish jazz musicians like Riitta Paakki and Kalevi Louhivuori and European talents like Otis Sandsjö and Igor Osypov. Some of his mentors while studying at Jazz-Institut Berlin were the giants of jazz David Friedman and John Hollenbeck.

This group are a jazz sextet of skilled professional musicians from all over the world with a very talented lineup of Nathan Pigott on tenor sax, Toby Brazier on trumpet, Joe Fenning on trombone, Gero Schipmann on guitar, Feliks Bart on bass, and Adrian Ortman on drums. Our music features original fusion compositions from band leader Toby Brazier who takes inspiration from great jazz trumpeters such as Tom Harrell, Woody Shaw and Kenny Wheeler. We perform some works by these artists too including the classic tunes 'Rosewood' and 'Moon Alley'. Our musical ambitions are to explore different sound worlds and to push the boundaries of our own musical output and creativity.
