Idiosyncratic fusion tunes mixing jazz with house, progressive metal and Afrobeat, only to name a few.
Odd Brew is an instrumental fusion quintet from Jyväskylä, Finland. It collects elements from a diverse range of musics, such as Top 40 pop songs, classical tunes, West African music, progressive metal and 80s fusion, and smashes them all to a jazz blender. Original compositions and occasional cover arrangements are penned by the bandleader Santeri Kaipiainen. Odd Brew's first full-length album "Kummapaahtoa" was released in May 2021 through the label Eclipse Music, following the self-released debut EP "Koemaisto" (2017).
