Raoul Björkenheim

Juhani Aaltonen is a living finnish jazz legend, a true icon of the spirit of free improvisation, whose soulful playing spans six decades. Known mainly for his tenor sax, "Junnu" focuses on flutes in this duo and creates  a lyrical music world with Raoul who contributes 6- and 12-string colours on his double-neck electric guitar. Their ESP-like communication allows them to create new pieces on the fly, which they intersperse with original compositions. Both Junnu and Raoul spent years collaborating with another Finnish icon, Edward Vesala, whose music stands out for its unfettered originality, and they are both prominent in the Vesala discography.
