Klaus Suonsaari - With Every Breath I Take (2000)

Suonsaari, who has written music since 1982, likes to write for different size groups from small combos to symphony orchestras. In 1984, in memory of pianist Bill Evans, Klaus wrote "Suite for Bill" for 27-piece orchestra featuring Niels Lan Doky. He feels his "own compositions have a distinctive character and express a variety of moods." This is graphically illustrated by his writing for his debut album Reflecting Times on the Storyville Records label.

In 1992, The Artist Of The Year Award for excellence presented at the Pori Jazz Festival, was given to drummer-composer Klaus Suonsaari who has made an international career on the New York jazz scene. He has toured the United States, Canada, France, Switzerland, Norway, Denmark, Finland, England and Scotland. Performances in these countries have included numerous radio and television appearances and major jazz festivals such as Montreux, Copenhagen, Pori, Montreux/Detroit, Lugano, Greenwich Village Jazz Festival, as well as some of the top jazz clubs in the world: Sweet Basil, Blue Note, Village Vanguard, Birdland, Village Gate and the Montmartre.
