Ricky-Tick’s Jazz Heat Bongo Beat kicks 2010 off with style. Rolling live at our bi-monthly slot at Helsinki’s Kuudes Linja on Saturday, January 30 are Dalindèo, firm label favourites since the early days. This time around, the sextet turns into an octet with the inclusion of the hard-cookin’ Timo Lassy on sax+flute and the upcoming young gun Kasperi Sarikoski on trombone. The occasion, of course, is the live premiere of the band’s new LP “Soundtrack for the Sound Eye” out in January, which displays a deep cinematic edge to the band’s tight ensemble sound.

In true Jazz Heat Bongo Beat style, the DJ section is working hard to match the intensity of the live performance, and to ensure that your jazz is on and on until the break of dawn. Our January edition features everyone’s favourite drummer Teppo “Teddy Rok” Mäkynen on DJ duty presenting his remarkable deck skills alongside resident DJ Matti Nives.

Dalindèo in 2010 are in top form and are about to release an album which we consider their best thus far. Why don’t you join us in seeing what you think.

*** Dalindèo’s Valtteri Pöyhönen is featured as guest on the “Lauantaijatsit” radio show on the day of the event at Bassoradio FM, airing at 2-4pm (GMT +2).
