THE ORIGINAL SIN BY EERO KOIVISTOINEN
Finnish jazz at its most daring — free, spiritual, and avant-garde
Released in 1971, The Original Sin captures saxophonist and composer Eero Koivistoinen pushing the limits of Nordic jazz. Blending free improvisation, modal exploration, and soulful interplay, the album showcases some of Finland’s finest players — including Lance Gunderson, Pekka Pöyry, and Esko Rosnell. Recorded in Helsinki’s Scandia Studios, it’s an adventurous, deeply expressive record that bridges European avant-garde and American post-bop traditions.
