Svart (Finland), 2019. New Copy ... $9.99 18.99
A really unique setting for the saxophone genius of Eero Koivistoinen – a trio album that features piano from Alexi Tuomarila and vocals from Martin Alvado – the last of whom sings in Spanish, and often with this flowing style that almost feels as if it's an instrument itself! The set ... (Jazz) read more CD
Bang —
Music ... CD Capitol/Svart (Finland), 1973. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A mighty nice 70s album from Bang – not nearly as well-known as their debut, and a set that really has the group finding their groove! Bang were always slightly funky amidst their hard rock leanings – maybe in part because they hail from Philly – and here the drums and bass do ... (Rock) read more CD
Scandia/Svart (Finland), 1975. New Copy ... $9.99 18.99
A brilliant meeting of two Scandinavian scenes of the 70s – as Danish modern giants met with overlooked Finnish greats, in this sweet little set that was recorded in Stockholm! The one-off session has a group named by the title of the album – but the lineup is almost all-star ... (Jazz) read more CD

Essen 1970 ... CD Svart (Finland), 1970. Used Gatefold ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A really heady live performance from Guru Guru – and a great reminder of how much revolutionary music was being created at the start of the 70s with just the familiar elements of guitar, bass, and drums! With an instrumental lineup that small, you'd think the whole thing would sound very ... (Rock) read more CD

Jupu Group/Svart (Finland), 1974/1977. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
There was something wonderfully freaky going down in the Finnish jazz scene of the 70s – as you'll hear on these two rare performances by fusion combos of the time! First up are the Jupu Group – a sextet led by violinist Juhani Poutanen, who really opens up his instrument in ways that ... (Jazz) read more CD

Abraham's Blue Refrain ... LP 
Hi Hat/Svart (Finland), 1977. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
An overlooked gem from Finnish hard rock powerhouse Kalavala – renamed here as an Orchestra, but still working with the lean, sharp sound of their previous two albums! There's a nice evolution here from the earlier sound of the Scandia scene – maybe a bit of northern inspiration thrown ... (Rock) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Diversity ... LP Svart (Finland), 2022. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Tenorist Eero Koivistoinen first rose to fame with a handful of groundbreaking records in the 70s – but in more recent years, he's reemerged with maybe an even sharper sound and bolder sense of his talents!

Labyrinth (2CDs – with bonus tracks) ... CD Love/Svart (Finland), 1977. New Copy 2CD ... Out Of Stock
No sonic labyrinth here – just a great set of hard-blown grooves from saxophonist Eero Koivistoinen!

Muusa Ja Ruusa ... CD Svart (Finland), 1971. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
One of the most unusual albums we've ever heard from Finnish reed legend Eero Koivistoinen – a set of music composed for children – but with a wild sound that must have sent more than a few kids running from the room back in the 70s!

The rare fourth album from Finnish reed legend Eero Koivistoinen – his first on a proper jazz label, but still a pretty darn obscure set overall!

Love/Svart (Finland), 1975. New Copy (reissue)... $29.99 34.99
Wonderfully enigmatic work from the Finnish scene of the 70s – music that has roots in folk, but expression in some of the more fusion-based styles of the time!

One of the most obscure albums ever recorded by Italian trumpeter Enrico Rava – and one of the greatest as well!

Svart (Finland), 1972. New Copy 2LP ... $36.99
The tenor of Sonny Rollins, heard in a very unusual setting – a freewheeling live date from Finland, with wonderful Fender Rhodes work from Heikki Sarmanto!

Helsinki Tapes Vol 1 – Live At N Club 1971 to 1972 ... CD Svart (Finland), 1971. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Nothing serious here – as the sound is soulful, jazzy, and in the hippest fusion spirit of the time – very long, open tracks by a small combo led by Heikki Sarmanto on Fender Rhodes, on tracks that are in the more exploratory side of the Miles Davis/Herbie Hancock spectrum!

You may not be able to pronounce the name of Tasavallan Presidentti easily – but man, they're one heck of a group – a key combo from the Finnish scene of the 70s, and one that effortlessly blends together jazz and rock modes, but with a sound that's very different than most other music ...

A tribute to Marilyn Monroe, but one that's way different than you might expect – as the music here is highly electronic, and often quite dark – served up in a mix of experimental and jazz-based modes by a very unusual Finnish group from the early 70s!

Finnish soul by an American singer – not the same Charles Williams that you might know from 70s jazz funk albums – but an even earlier talent, really shining brightly here in a soulful Scandinavian setting!

Black Hole – Finnish Disco & Electronic Music From Private Pressings & Unreleased Tapes 1980 to 1991 ... LP Svart (Finland), 1980s/Early 90s. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
A sweet little collection that goes way past the disco in the title – but maybe that's what you'd expect, give that most of the music is from the post-disco generation of the 80s! There's still plenty of clubby elements in the music, but the artists here have really taken off from late 70s ... (Funky Compilations) read more LP, Vinyl record album

A cool collection of clubby cuts from the Finnish scene – maybe not the biggest hotbed of disco sounds at the end of the 70s, but a nation that's certainly given us some great funk in recent years! Turns out, the funky Finnish legacy goes way back to the 70s – where some of the groups ... (Funky Compilations) read more CD

Obscure grooves from the Finnish scene of the 80s – tracks that do a nice job of bridging the space between earlier Euro disco modes, particularly the work of the Munich scene – and the huge wave of electro pop that was coming out of the UK at the time! In fact, much of the material ... (Funky Compilations) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Svart (Finland), Late 70s/Early 80s. New Copy Gatefold ... $32.99 34.99
The title's a bit misleading, as Giorgio Moroder didn't actually spend time on the Finnish scene – but the German superproducer had a huge influence on that nation's grooves during the 70s and early 80s – as you'll hear on this wonderfully weird and well-collected set!
