As a musician, Oberthaler is an adventurer, one who is fearless in stitching together old and new elements of jazz for experiments in reinventing pop music for the 21st century. It's a seemingly uphill climb; there's been so much that has been done before, even in the area of the avant-garde. But what Oberthaler manages to do ...

The mostly-Finnish Scorch Trio springs to mind when it comes to jazz with an edge, and for the last ten years or so, multi-saxophonist Mikko Innanen belongs squarely in that conversation, too.
