Adele Sauros Quartet was founded in 2012 and has performed at major jazz festivals in both Finland and the Nordic countries. Combining elements of Nordic and American jazz styles, the band embarks on the Finnish Jazz Federation tour to present material from their new album. The tour begins in Kotka on September 16th, followed by performances in Helsinki, Joensuu, Savonlinna, Riihimäki, Oulu, and Mäntsälä.
The quartet's fourth studio album, Your Special Loss, was released in March 2024 by the Spanish label Fresh Sound Records. The band's album release tours have extended beyond Finland to Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Spain. The album consists of compositions by Adele Sauros, focusing on recovery and finding hope. The melodic and serious compositions draw influences from both Nordic and American jazz.
Saxophonist Adele Sauros is one of the most active jazz musicians and composers in Finland and Europe today. Sauros believes that music can change the world if it is made on one's own terms, as her quartet does. The band members are virtuosic jazz musicians with open minds and the courage to deviate from conventional patterns, embracing spontaneous improvisation.
Sauros and her band eagerly anticipate the September tour after their summer break from performances.
“We can’t wait for the tour, especially after the summer break when all our summer gigs had to be canceled due to my broken wrist,” says Sauros.
