7" Stereo Vinyl Single
Jazz: Soul
Sax man Timo Lassy & drummer Teppo Mäkynen debut their scorching duo formation. These tracks were recorded raw at their rehearsal space at Helsinki's Kaapelitehdas and cut to wax right next door at the Timmion Cutting Lab. What you'll have here is two solid slices of infectious, hard-swinging bare bones duo jazz. Lassy and Mäkynen are both known as solo artists as well as from groups such as The Five Corners Quintet. Mäkynen also plays drums on the Timo Lassy Band, which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. Mäkynen recently released a new major solo work as 3TM.

Das Jazz-Wunder von Helsinki
Ausgerechnet in Finnland wird gerade der aufregendste Jazz Europas gespielt: nervös, cool, auf den Punkt. Im Zentrum der Bewegung steht ein junges Label mit Hipster-Attitüde und Vinyl-Fetisch.
