Arttu Tolonen wrote a review of Way To on: We Jazz Magazine / Winter 2025 “Weathering” | We Jazz Records
“Now Savela steps out of the section with his debut as a leader, Way To.”
“Savela possesses a cool and controlled sound, one that is eminently capable of carrying an album.”
“There are several standout tracks on this strong album.”

That one guy on Discogs commented!
Superb album and the vinyl sounds very good! IMO probably the best jazz album made in Finland in recent years. Highly recommended!
