Saxophonist and composer Maria Faust is renowned and respected worldwide for her award-winning ensembles Sacrum Facere, Machina, and Jazz Catastrophe. Although her unique musical language as a composer and singular improvising style are easily identified, she is difficult to place in the canon of contemporary jazz and composition.

Otis Sandsjö – initiator and mastermind behind the band Y-Otis – settled in Berlin via Sweden and brings his own special genre-bending, forward-looking liquid jazz sounds. After his esteemed self-titled debut album in 2018, he came back in 2020 with Y-Otis 2, and in 2024 with Y-Otis Tre, also released by the respected We Jazz Records in Helsinki and produced by Koma Saxo's multi-talent Petter Eldh.

Jazz in its most open operative meaning, in which improvisation is a real necessity, stimulates the trio to confront and investigate our times of sounds and movements.
