Tenor sax standout Timo Lassy, fresh from Finland's popular retro jazz scene, reminds us that some jazz can and should be listened to on the dance floor. With Helsinki-based Ricky-Tick Records
(and ObliqSound , in North America) releasing Lassy's debut solo album The Soul & Jazz of Timo Lassy, we witness the emergence of a major talent as a soloist and band leader.
His rise to leader comes after star-making stints with the globe-trotting Five Corners Quintet, Blue Note's U-Street All Stars, and Jimi Tenor Band , among others.
Early singles from the album generated rave reviews in dance and jazz publications around the world: the international deep grooves community has a sweet spot for Lassy. He is the perfect melting of diverse characteristics,
triggering a likeness to Willis Jackson and Pharoah Sanders . Get ready from the next chapter of jazz from Finland.
"The Soul & Jazz of Timo Lassy is certainly one of the auspicious debuts of the 2007 calendar year, and listeners don't have to wait for him to "fully develop" -- whatever that means -- because the cat's canny,
young, utterly hip, and sophisticated as a player, sure, but also as a bandleader, composer, and arranger. Take notice, this is just the beginning; Lassy is coming on strong. - ALL MUSIC GUIDE, Nov 2007"
