Kadi Vija Key Project is a fresh and innovative jazz group built around the outstanding Finnish/Estonian jazz vocalist Kadi Vija. The ensemble strives for a sound that is soft but substantial, quiet but captivating, a sound that lingers in the listener's mind but leaves him hungry for more. The unique instrumentation of this group creates a sound that is new and open.
Kadi Vija Key Project includes the A-list musicians of the Finnish jazz scene. The group's leader, Kadi Vija has a strong background in vocal jazz improvisation and defines herself primarily as a vocal instrumentalist. Vija channels stories from a foreign language into melodies, sounds and ideas. In her music, she strives to find a balance between being out of her comfort zone and feeling comfortable, with the utmost sincerity. She has explored jazz as an art form with some of the world's most important musicians such as Ambrose Akinmusire, Jason Palmer and Greg Osby.
