Kvalda, a jazz ensemble originated in Jyväskylä, Finland, combines lucid Scandinavian jazz and free expression into a fresh and modern blend of music. It is characteristic of the quartet to diffuse the boundaries of improvisation and composition - as if the musicians were on an eventful journey, delivering its adventures, colours and tastes to the listeners.
Kvalda won the inter-Nordic competition Young Nordic Jazz Comets 2004 - the final was held at Stockholm Jazz Festival. The quartet, formed in autumn 2002, has experience of several performances both in Finland (e.g. Pori Jazz, Keitelejazz, Jyväskylä Summer Jazz, Jazz Bar, Jazz-Espa, UMO Jazz Fest) and abroad (e.g. in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, Czech Republic and Greece).
A new album "Leia" has been released in October 2007. You can order the album (worldwide) for example from iTunes, Levykauppa Äx (CD) or Levyvirasto (CD/MP3).
We released our first album on 12th June, 2004. The album has been sold out, but mp3s are available at Equal Dreams.
