MIKKO ANTILA QUINTET

“Sinetti” — Debut Album

Known for his energetic and expressive style, vibraphonist Mikko Antila has already established a strong position within the Finnish music scene. His debut album, “Sinetti”, was released through Flame Jazz Records on July 10, 2026.

The album introduces Antila’s new quintet, combining the light and airy sound of clarinet, vibraphone and acoustic guitar with the deep, earthy foundation of double bass and drums.

The creative yet solid interplay of drummer Teppo Mäkynen and double bassist Antti Lötjönen meets the breathing, expressive approach of a younger generation of musicians, creating a unique atmosphere around Antila’s compositions. The music radiates calmness, playfulness and a strong sense of connection between the musicians.
