Announcing Kaisa Mäensivu’s New Album: Moving Parts

We’re thrilled to share that bassist Kaisa Mäensivu, professionally known as Kaisa’s Machine, will release her forthcoming album Moving Parts on March 14, 2025, via Greenleaf Music.

This marks Kaisa’s second album with Greenleaf Music, following her acclaimed 2023 release Taking Shape. Moving Parts features seven original compositions and showcases an outstanding quintet: Sasha Berliner (vibraphone), Max Light (guitar), Eden Ladin (piano), and Joe Peri (drums).

Hailed as a “band of young aces” (The New York Times) and “refreshingly inventive” (All About Jazz), Kaisa’s Machine continues to push boundaries with Moving Parts. The album explores themes of belonging, capturing the contrasting soundscapes and moods of New York and Helsinki – two cities deeply tied to Mäensivu’s artistic journey.

The first single, “Midnight Sun,” drops on Bandcamp and streaming platforms on January 28, 2025. Pre-order the album now to be among the first to experience this exciting release!
