Freshet
Freshet (Orbdisc)
$16.99
You can't really assemble a much better acoustic music group than this collaboration of Finnish and American musicians: Ruthie Dornfeld on fiddle, Petri Hakala on mandolin, John Miller on guitar and Tapani Varis on bass and overtone flute. They move effortlessly between Finn and American folk, swing and jazz (and a touch of bossa nova, samba, choro!) in a trans-continental, trans-oceanic music fest.
The band says:
Freshet (formerly Helsinki Express) is a Finnish and American collaboration, and despite the long commute, it's a very exciting band to play in. In this, our debut recording, we play mostly original material. The Scandinavian influence is clear, but we're all very fond of the music of South America, so there's a bossa nova, samba, choro, and a Latin waltz in the program. Enjoy.

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
