The Five Corners Quintet is a Helsinki-based postmodern jazz outfit influenced by early sixties straight ahead and latin jazz. Led by producer Tuomas Kallio the Five Corners Quintet is a new extension of the highly acclaimed Nuspirit Helsinki collective. In musical terms the goal of the FCQ is to set an example of how dance floor-friendly contemporary production can fruitfully meet the musical craftsmanship of the past, creating music that sounds as hip as the classic jazz records but is at the same time structurally polished and easily accessible music of today. Not housey nu-jazz, but jazz in the classic modernist spirit. The album features two world-class guest vocalists, the other one being none other than the 6 time Grammy nominee and 4 time Downbeat readers poll winner, Mr. Mark Murphy who is featured on three of the tracks. The female voice performing two songs on the album is Paris-based Okou who is a versatile vocalist and has been working with a lot of different kind of people from Mick Jagger to Keziah Jones. The band consists of the very cream of the Finnish jazzmen. Eero Koivistoinen is a tenor sax heavyweight who has been around since the sixties. Jukka Eskola is a young trumpet phenomenon and the Finnish equivalent for Freddie Hubbard. Severi Pyysalo on vibes is a Blue Note recording artist and the drummer Teppo Mäkynen, who is voted as the number 1 drummer among the Finnish jazz press year after year, is internationally known for Nuspirit Helsinki and his solo project Teddy Rok Seven. The orchestration arrangements for a 12-piece string and French horn ensemble complete the lush sound and atmosphere of the record. |

I think it's safe to say it doesn't get much better than this. The sheer talent of Jukka Eskola and Teppo Mäkynen and this whole collective is simply phenomenal. I had the pleasure of seeing them perform live at Helsinki's Flow05-festival and got blown away by how good they really are.
All that skill combined with Okou's sweet voice and Mark Murpy's charisma makes this album a timeless masterpiece. I recommend you buy it right now. Unless you really hate jazz music. Hell, you might just like it anyway!
