Janne Huttunen - Janne Was Here (2018)

Janne Huttunen, a saxophonist, who became a music producer and songwriter, and who became a songwriter for her unmistakable tragedy, debuted with her own jazz quartet with her new album, Janne Was Here. As a versatile author is natural, the album also extends extensively from the outside of jazz music to his melodrama.

On the album, Huttunen band includes Henri Mäntylä, keyboardist, bassist Ville Herrala and drummer Jaska Lukkarinen. In addition, the guest will be accompanied by trumpetist Kalevi Louhivuorta, trumpeter Jay Kortehisto and percussionist Abdissa Assefa. Janne Huttunen Quartet will celebrate a new release at Koko Jazz Club on Thursday, February 1, with pianist Joonas Haavisto.

- With the album, my long-term dream is fulfilled and I'm just obsessed with making music for the jazz band, Huttunen says.

- The time was ripe for the album, and the brilliant musicians bring with it a jazz bag, and with it I can get out of the genre even with the band, still trusting.

The result is a personal touch of modern jazz, which does not slip easily. Huttunen will lead her band through seven original pieces, inspired by them. Cape Town, snakes and basketball. The record comes out of the desire of an experienced musician to leave the world his own musical character, his signature, to which the title label of the album refers. At the same time, the reference underlined the spontaneous momentaryness of the album - "Janne Was Here" was recorded with one shot.

Janne Huttunen (born 1975) is known as a broad-based musician, producer and songwriter. Songs Huttunen has penciled for example. Waltteri Torika, Club For Fivelle, Robin and Pete Parkkoselle. When there are projects such as the #lovemilla, the Voice of Finland and the Tiisa, there are a lot of projects such as the #lovemilla, the Voice of Finland and the Tiisa, which can be considered as an exceptionally wide-ranging factor for Huttu, which brings his own tone to man's jazz music.
