Abel / Fritzsch / Salonen - Sonatas & Trios From Lendenburg Collection - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Founded in 2015, Second Wind Quintet is an instrumental group of talented Finnish musicians led by guitarist and composer Tommi Tampio. The group based in Helsinki, lined up with double bass (Juuso Rinta), drums (Ilkka Oksanen), piano (Aapo Wikstén), saxophone (Kasper Haikonen) and guitar (Tommi Tampio), combines elements from modern jazz, folk and cinematic music without worrying about crossing genres. The group members' different musical backgrounds provide interesting conditions for colorful improvisation and interaction. Tampio's compositions are largely influenced by the music of Brian Blade Fellowship and Pat Metheny, amongst others.

I do not always choose to struggle with difficulties and play my full potential. I make my pieces difficult whenever I please, according to my disposition and that of my audience. It is in this concise manner that Carl Friedrich Abel characterized his performance skills, which in the life of the composer were widely recognized as a unique phenomenon. The album by Krzysztof Firius, Anna Firius, and Tomasz Pokrzywinski includes selected ABBA gambic works from the recently discovered Maltzan book collection, made public by the Polish musicologist Sonia Wronkowska.
