Dalindèo is a Finnish jazz sextet led by composer-guitarist Valtteri Pöyhönen. The group aims at keeping the original jazz spirit alive with a heavy emphasis on danceable rhythms, characteristic melodies and the craftsmanship of top musicians. The band’s debut album “Open Scenes” was released by Ricky-Tick in 2006.
Now Dalindèo are set to return with their second album, “Soundtrack for the Sound Eye”, due out January 2010. A taste of their new cinematic sound is available on the recent EP entitled “Vintage Voyage”, and the 7″ single “New Creation / Another Devil”. The offerings find Pöyhönen & co embark on a new musical collaboration with the Berlin-based vocalist Bajka. The tracks ‘Willpower’ and ‘New Creation’ feature the vocalist with the band on a full-on 21st century spiritual jazz journey.
When compared to the previous Dalindèo releases, the new stuff finds the group opting for a sound more reminiscent of their celebrated live show. Displaying just the right amount of roughness around the edges, Dalindèo are due back with a bang. Stay tuned for more release news and live dates soon.
