Tuomarila is a young pianist from Finland who studied in Belgium and currently lives in Paris. He recorded this tune with a tight Belgian group that has fully embraced his vision of jazz. A vision that could be best defined as a post-Coltrane conception of the quartet, with a very organic basis. The global sound is thick and heavy, and each instrument contributes to it rather than focusing on solo feats. Rhythm is also a key element, and the structure is never formal. This announces some very promising talents.
