Born out of many years of musical collaborations these free flowing tracks were created in the moment through deep listening and responding to each other’s ideas. Recorded live in Helsinki, August Conversations is a meeting of two music veterans whose collaboration spans over five decades, and celebrates the long standing musical partnership of Finnish improvising musicians Teppo Hauta-aho & Heikki “Mike” Koskinen. It coincides with both of them receiving Finnish Music Archive’s “Jazz Legends” awards # 33 & 34 in Helsinki, on Sept 10, 2019.
