Uzva biography
The Finnish band UZVA was formed up in year 1994 by Heikki Puska, Pekko Sams, Olli Kari and Lauri Kajander. They started by playing some psychedelic / progressive rock song covers, and then focused to their own instrumental material and developed their style. During the years the original rock quartet has grown strongly with additional musicians handling instruments providing aspects of classical, jazz, and traditional folk music to their sound, creating warm hearted chamber rock sound reaching very high artistic quality standards. The arranged compositional parts are strongly tied with European classical symphonic music, containing space for more free jazz elements and rock instrumentation jam sequences, and visiting different culture's folk music (like European classical music also often does), delivering strong association of peaceful and ideal pastoral scenes.
As comparison references of their style, FRANK ZAPPA's jazz rock records could come in mind, as do the kind-hearted symphonic music of MIKE OLDFIELD, the heyday sound of Finnish groups TASAVALLAN PRESIDENTTI and WIGWAM, and also some other psychedelic jazz rock bands like SOFT MACHINE, not forgetting more violently neurotic sound similar of Wetton/Bruford-era KING CRIMSON. The band has played some of the songs of these groups in their gigs, and also done tribute projects for some of them.
During the years band has had some changes in their line-up, but the fundamentals of their spiritual and aesthetic musical approach have stayed quite similar. They have been giving out concerts regularly, and releasing CD's in a calm but steady pace. The line-up listed in year 2008 is Heikki Puska (lead guitar), Lauri Kajander (rhythm guitar), Jarmo Rouvinen (saxophones & flute), Inka Eerola (violin), Antti Hermaja (trombone), Olli Kari (vibes & marimba), Antti Kivim?ki (bass) and Ville V??t?inen (drums).
