When you learn from the best, there comes a day when the apprentice becomes the master. This is a stunning jazz album that will make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up..
Teemu Mattsson has spent his life around the best jazz musicians in Finland - Jari Perkiömäki, Jukkis Uotila, Sonny Heinilä and Jukka Perko - first as a student at the Sibelius Academy jazz department, and then as a hired hand in numerous productions as a freelancer.
It takes a special group of people to produce the 'primitive energy' that Mattsson says you hear on the album. His quintet is a blend of talented young guns and some oldtimers that have been around a block or two.
