We Jazz is both a Helsinki-based record label and an annual jazz festival. The label grew from the festival's commitment to presenting forward-thinking contemporary jazz to new audiences.

What does Nordic jazz sound like?

Nordic jazz is characterised by space, restraint and a willingness to incorporate folk music, electronic elements and improvisation. It tends toward cool tempos and thoughtful construction, influenced by the Scandinavian aesthetic of understatement.

Is We Jazz limited to Finnish artists?

No. While many We Jazz artists are Finnish, the label also releases music by international artists who share its aesthetic values.

About We Jazz Vinyl Records
