Johan Ölander Quartet is making a new album with all new music by Johan. Members of the band are Hannu Hiltula; piano & saxophone, Ari Polojärvi; guitar, Vesku Saloranta; bass and Johan on drums. The recording session takes place in october 2011 and the record will be out in the spring of 2012!

The great saxophone player Will Vinson from New York will also participate on the new JÖQ album!

Johan and bassplayer Vesku Saloranta are travelling to New York to meet people, to hang out with their NY musician-friends and play with them at a couple of clubs, and to check out good music!

You can buy the cd in well-stocked record shops, order it from Alba Records or contact Johan at johan.olander(a)tsmo.fi.

Vesku Saloranta has replaced Ape Anttila on bass in Johan Ölander Quartet.
