Timo Lassy And Ricky Tick Big Band Brass - Big Brass Live At Savoy Theatre Helsinki - CD DIGIPAK

Live album by Finland's finest - the band of saxophonist Timo Lassy meets the brass section of Ricky Tick Big Band for an incredible. extended set of original new songs and Lassy-classics. Recorded during two nights at Helsinki’s famous Savoy Theatre, this live-album presents Timo Lassy, a saxophonist and composer and one of the best things to come out of Finland since Marimekko and the Moomins, with his group plus the “big brass”-section of the Ricky Tick Big Band under the direction of Valtteri Laurell Pöyhönen. The conductor also wrote the arrangements for the Timo Lassy classics you can hear on this album, just the way they were meant to sound and feel. Check out “African Rumble” for instance, more than twice its original album length and packing more punch than ever.“It’s really hard to rank concerts, but I’d still say that these two Savoy performances could not have gone any better. They were – and still remain – highlights of my career,” says Lassy. “We recorded the entire concert, for the purpose of creating some videos, actually. I had no idea that it would turn out sounding so relaxed, which I loved when listening back to the recording. We just had to release it.”
