Iiro Rantala (b. 1970) is one of the most prominent Finnish jazz musicians best known as the founder and pianist of Trio Toykeat, Finland's internationally most famous jazz band. Rantala has written a concerto, which is not jazz nor contemporary classical music, but it is enjoyable, entertaining, compelling and action-packed music. The orchestration has been done by composer, violinist and conductor Jaakko Kuusisto, who conducts the Tapiola Sinfonietta also on this recording.
