FIVE CORNERS QUINTET
Timo Lassy-saxophone, Jukka Eskola-trumpet, Mikael Jakobsson-piano, Antti Lötjönen-bass, Teppo Mäkynen-drums
Stylish, contemporary jazz for the dance floor, but also for the serious listener. This Finish quintet started off with singles that earned an underground reputation after which the group would even get a break through in the pop circuit. It is not about fusion with house or hip hop but about pure, honest, rejuvenating jazz, inspired by the sound of the 60’s and Latin, with inflammable interaction.
