Edward Vesala, Pekka Pöyry, Paroni Paakkunainen, Teppo Hauta-aho, Mircea Stan, Mike Koskinen. This is the only masterpiece from 1972 by the all star Finnish avant garde jazz sextet Tuohi Klang. Include wonderful "A-Vara" that manipulates tempo as if you are watching a movie, playful piece "Marssi For Keinonen" that even includes the sound of a cat but the performance reaches amazing heights in parts, and "Interlude" is centered around Paroni Paakkunainen's trumpet, which seems to be filled with spirit, on A-side Two songs on the B-side feature improvisations that evoke indigenous folklore. This work tells the story of Finland at that time, when there was one of the most chaotic creative music scenes in the world. This was the last release from the cult private label UFO, which ended its activities after this work. There are some thin scratches at the end of A1 and the beginning of A2, and a small pop at the beginning of B1, but we don't think either is that serious. All songs have been recorded for a long time from the start, so please check them out.
Edward Vesala, Pekka Pöyry, Paroni Paakkunainen, Teppo Hauta-aho, Mircea Stan, Mike Koskinen。フィンランドのアヴァンギャルド・ジャズにおけるオールスターが揃ったセクステットTuohi Klangが唯一残した72年の超傑作。ひとつの映画を見ているような緩急を操る演奏が素晴らしい”A-Vara”、猫の声まで入る遊び心を感じさせながらも凄いところまで到達しちゃってる”Marssi For Keinonen”、霊気が宿るようなParoni Paakkunainenのトランペットを中心とした”Interlude”。土着フォークロアを感じさせるインプロビゼーションを聞けるB面の2曲。この頃のフィンランドは凄い事になってますね。この作品を最後に活動を終えたカルトプライベートレーベルUFOからのリリース。非常に稀少となっています。A1終りとA2冒頭に細かな擦れがあり極若干音に出ます、B1冒頭に一度プツっと鳴る箇所ありますがどちらもそこまでシリアスではないと思います。視聴全曲スタートから長めに録ってあるのでご確認ください。
