Band, FI
Jazz
Wasama Quartet was founded in Helsinki, Finland in 1976. The band played a mixture of folk, ethnic music and jazz because of the various musical backgrounds of its members. The founding members were Mikko-Ville Luolajan-Mikkola (violin), Ilkka Niemeläinen (guitar), Olli-Pekka Wasama (bass) and Jukka Wasama (percussion). Luolajan-Mikkola left the group in the early 1980s and he was replaced by Pentti Lahti (flute, saxophone, clarinet). The band released albums in 1980 and 1983.
