   About Katja Toivola
SUOMEA ALEMPANA...

Trombonist Katja Toivola has been acquainted with the music styles of New Orleans for over fifteen years. She made her first visit to the Crescent City in 1995, and now divides her time between her two hometowns: Helsinki and New Orleans. Toivola has played with the Riverside Rascals, a popular Finnish jazz band since 1996, and has been leading her own bands; the New Orleans Helsinki Connection and the Spirit Of New Orleans since 2001.

In July 2002, Toivola performed in Switzerland with the German Wim's Paradise Jazz Band and in February 2006 and December 2007 in France with Patrick Bensoussan's Big Beat Band. 2006 also saw her playing at the legendary Preservation Hall where she now regularly performs on Friday nights. In the spring of 2008 she did a 2-week tour in Australia and in 2008 and 2009 it was Brazil's turn (São Paulo, Brasília, Belo Horizonte, Rio de Janeiro, Aracaju and Recife).

She has performed in New Zealand, Switzerland, Fiji, France, Germany, Estonia, Denmark, Australia, Brazil and Norway and on most of the Finnish jazz festivals (Pori Jazz, April Jazz, Ruskaswing, Linna-Jazz, Korpo Sea Jazz, Ylläs Jazz Blues, Jyväskylä Summer Jazz, Helsinki Classic Jazz Festival, Imatra Big Band Festival...). She works as a freelance musician around Helsinki and New Orleans.

From the review of "Some Of These Days" (Geraldine Wyckoff, OffBeat 1/2007)
"-- Toivola’s "Montego Bounce" rocks steady with a Jamaican flair that is reminiscent of material favored by the legendary Skatalites. It’s the perfect vehicle to show off her growing prowess on the trombone.--"

SUOMI:
Pasunisti Katja Toivola on perehtynyt New Orleansin musiikkityyleihin yli viidentoista vuoden ajan. Ensimmäisen matkansa jazzin syntymäkaupunkiin hän teki vuonna 1995 ja jakaa nykyisin aikansa Helsingin ja New Orleansin välillä. Toivola on johtanut suosittuja New Orleans Helsinki Connection- ja Spirit Of New Orleans -yhtyeitä vuodesta 2001 lähtien.

Heinäkuussa 2002 Toivola esiintyi Sveitsissä saksalaisen Wim's Paradise Jazz Bandin kanssa. Vuosina 2006 ja 2007 Toivola soitti Ranskassa Patrick Bensoussanin Big Beat Bandin kanssa sekä New Orleansin legendaarisessa Preservation Hallissa, jossa hän nykyisin esiintyy vakituisesti perjantai-iltaisin. Keväällä 2008 hän oli kaksiviikkoisella kiertueella Australiassa ja vuosina 2008 ja 2009 Brasiliassa (São Paulo, Brasília, Belo Horizonte, Rio de Janeiro, Aracaju ja Recife).

Toivola on esiintynyt useilla merkittävillä festivaaleilla ja klubeilla sekä Suomessa että ulkomailla (Jazz Festival Brasil, 21st Thredbo Yalumba Jazz Festival, Fiji International Jazz & Blues Festival, Waiheke Island Of Jazz, Ascona New Orleans Jazz & Classics, Sildajazz, Pori Jazz, Baltic Jazz, Ruskaswing, Ylläs Jazz Blues, Kalott Jazz & Blues, Imatra Big Band Festival, Korpo Sea Jazz, Otava Happy Jazz, Helsinki Classic Jazz Festival, Linna-Jazz, Storyville, Santa Fé, Sture Jazz Club, Ekman Jazz Club...).

Lisäksi Toivola on soittanut Riverside Rascals -yhtyeessä vuodesta 1996 lähtien ja esiintynyt free-lance muusikkona Helsingissä, Brasiliassa, Virossa, Tanskassa, Australiassa, Saksassa, Sveitsissä, Uudessa Seelannissa, Ranskassa, Norjassa, Fidzi-saarilla sekä New Orleansissa (mm. Anthony Howe Band, Tricia Boutté Band, Leroy Jones Quintet, Tremé Brass Band).

"Some Of These Days" -levyn arvostelusta (Geraldine Wyckoff, OffBeat 1/2007)
"-- Toivola’s "Montego Bounce" rocks steady with a Jamaican flair that is reminiscent of material favored by the legendary Skatalites. It’s the perfect vehicle to show off her growing prowess on the trombone.--"

The corporatist’s singular consideration of profit might be good for their investors but it is no way to “Govern” a Country!  Your voice, your life – Paul
