Teppp “Teddy Rok” Mäkynen, drums & perucssion

The Five Corners Quintet’s sax maestro’s strong debut, Teddy Rok production. Eight tracks of soulful and Latin tinged jazz.

“If your only experience with Scandinavian musicians is from listening to uber quiet, sterile and subtle sounds from ECM, Timo Lassy is going to make your eyes pop out… Most of the tunes have an exhilarating in-your-face propulsion that edges each soloist to marvelous and muscular music mania… The Soul & Jazz of Timo Lassy from Finland is a surprise catch in lake that seemed poorly stocked!” ALL ABOUT JAZZ
