SunJazz: Selim Rantapuro Quartet

Selim Rantapuro is a Finnish jazz guitarist who started playing as a freelance musician in many different groups that played all sorts of music. However, his passion for jazz led him to study in The Royal Conservatoires in The Hague in The Netherlands and in Antwerp, Belgium. 

In the latter institution he obtained his master’s degree in jazz. His playing style is a mix of traditional jazz language but he also is searching modern ways of expressing himself. He eagerly composes his own music that is influenced by today’s jazz but that also has some hardbop and postbop influences, including jazz artists such as Art Blakey, Horace Silver, Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter just to name a few. 

His album ”Shades of Blue” (released in 2023), is a good example of his artistic output that pays tribute to the jazz tradition.
