When four young jazz virtuosos decided to join forces, the Rhythm Future Quartetwas born. Named after a Django Reinhardt tune, the Rhythm Future Quartet performs dynamic and fiery arrangements of Gypsy jazz standards and original compositions that draw from rhythms heard around the world.

Jason Anick and Olli Soikkeli, the front-men and lead soloists of the group, have been receiving critical acclaim this past year and are considered ‘rising stars’ in the world of Jazz and Gypsy Jazz. Olli Soikkeli, who recently made the move from his home country of Finland to New York City, is rapidly becoming a top call guitarist in the bustling Brooklyn jazz scene and has been aptly coined “the Finnish boy wonder”. Jason Anick, who is also an award winner composer, is one of the youngest professors at the esteemed Berklee College of Music in Boston.

Over the years they have individually been touring internationally alongside notable musicians like John Jorgenson, Frank Vignola, Tommy Emmanuel, Bucky Pizzarelli, and Howard Alden and have finally joined forces to form this special group. Coupled with musical sensitivity and virtuosity, the Rhythm Future Quartet acts as an enticing example of the future of Gypsy jazz music.
