A stunning bit of spiritual jazz from the Finnish scene – a record that's produced by Teddy Rok, who's also part of the trio as well! Rok (aka Teppo Makyen) plays drums – and his sound here is a huge evolution from the music that first grabbed us by the Teddy Rok Seven about 15 years ago – much more complex, and perfect for the work of bassist Antti Lotjonen and tenorist Logan Richardson – whose lines spiral out wonderfully over the work of the group! Antti was the bassist in the wonderful Five Corners Quintet – and the sound here is as if the soulful 60s sound of that group moved into more open, 70s spiritual territory. Titles include "Dunstan", "Super Slavic", and "After A While".
