Kerkko Koskinen, Verneri Pohjola & UMO Jazz Orchestra: Agatha (RTCD06) / 2007
Koskinen’s co-operation with Pohjola brings to mind the work of Miles Davis and Gil Evans, which was highly influential for defining the rich dynamics of the big band sound during the heyday of modern jazz. Lalo Schifrin, Henry Mancini and even Igor Stravinsky serve as additional reference points.
“The music sounds great, dynamic and wide. 5/5″
