About this product
Helsinki quartet OK KO releases their third album 'Liesu' with We Jazz Records on 15 April. The band, led by drummer/composer Okko Saastamoinen and including saxophonist Jarno Tikka, pianist Toomas Keski-Santti and bassist Mikael Saastamoinen (of Superpostion & Linda Fredriksson 'Juniper') is a scene favorite in Finland and has recently garnered some international attention with their melodic, dynamic and original approach. The OK KO sound is adventurous yet accessible, and contemporary yet rooted in the lineage of acoustic small group jazz.When listening to OK KO, you can feel that their influences also come from out of the musical realm. After all, isn't this just how it should be? Making music from your own life. Here, you can tell that the landscape of rural Finland, it's poetic, at times even melancholy beauty, is ever present. It's folk song country. But don't be fooled, these guys form a real flesh and blood jazz band. That means that the music just starts when the first note hits, and onwards from there, we're in for a wild ride.Whether punchy like on 'Anima', solemn like on 'Arvo', or just trekking out there a skiing lane of their own like on 'Vanhatie', what you'll get is pure OK KO. Melodic, interactive, honest and forward-reaching contemporary jazz music. That is something we appreciate - a lot!

White & Gray w/ Galaxy Effect (Color Vinyl). On Labyrinth, Heather Woods Broderick serves as our reflective host, subverting expectations of conventional songcraft with impressionistic language and quietly relentless explorations of the human experience that's at once light and dark, more circular and less linear. InchMany of us yearn for stillness and peace, as an escape from the movement all around us,Inch she explains when asked about the themes of the album. InchYet movement is perpetual, happening all the time on some level. It's as wild as the wind, yet eternally predictable in it's inevitability. It is linear in part, but infinite in it's circuitry. Our lives just punctuate it.InchBroderick began crafting Labyrinth in March 2020, when most forms of move- ment were brought to a screeching halt. The Maine-born, Los Angeles-based songwriter - who, in addition to her work as a solo musician, built a life playing and touring with acts such as Sharon Van Etten, Beth Orton, Damien Jurado, and Efterklang - was suddenly forced off the road for the first time in her career. She used this disruption as an opportunity to pare down her creation process and construct the scaffolding for Labyrinth in her apartment. Employing only the most crucial tools at her disposal, Broderick found herself opening different artistic doors as she focused on sharpening her recording skills, capturing the majority of the album on her own before finishing the remainder with co-producer D. James Goodwin.For all of Broderick's sage lyricism and vocal authority, Labyrinth never provides the listener with any easy answers. If the image of the labyrinth represents the enormity of modern life and the difficulty of navigating it, Heather Woods Broder- ick provides a guide to it's endless kinetic wonders - of being present, aware, and connected despite it's disconnects. She describes the texture of it
