about

With the new album ‘Aliseen’, legendary Finnish saxophone player Jorma Tapio and his group Kaski connect two traditions: local folk music and free jazz.

Jorma Tapio formed Kaski in 2015. Kaski is the Finnish term to describe the traditional way of burning a forest to make the ground fertile again. The eleven songs that make up the album reflect on rural life in Finland, a country that has been occupied either by Sweden or Russia through the centuries; a nordic land with long dark winters, midnight sun in the summer, and deep links to the spiritual world. The album title, ‘Aliseen’ is the Finnish word for a shaman’s trip to the underworld.

What makes this album so special is Tapio’s success in combining the Finnish dark, mysterious and spiritual traditional world with the cosmic sound of Don Byas, John Coltrane, Albert Ayler, and the great tradition of American jazz, free jazz, and improvised music.

released July 24, 2020

-"This delicate pendulum between the ancient and modern, far north and the west and east, dark and light, mysterious, and bright clear is the essence of «Aliseen». Tapio & Kaski succeed to expand and enrich the sonic horizons of both cultures with impressive, strong personal voices, passion, and elegance"(saltpeanuts.com/Eyal Harueveni)
-"A very unique listen that explores post-bop, free jazz, traditional folk and countless other avenues, Aliseen is not a listen that’s easy to describe, but it’s quite easy to absorb as the trio find a very unorthodox place to reside." (takeeffectreviews.com)
-"The opening track, “Reppurin Laulu,” translates to “backpack song,” thus implying that the entire album is a journey, and it sounds that way. The hand percussion and throbbing bass give it an indigenous Arctic Circle feel, and Tapio’s keening alto saxophone sounds like it’s coming from the depths of a forest."(Phil Freeman/www.stereogum.com)
--"Opening with tough but tender and melodic alto piece "Reppurin laulu", the Finnish multi-instrumentalist and his band immediately grab attention.It´s a very striking and impressive opener in its tuneful and minimalist way."./26.7.2020 Graham Reid /NZ www.elsewhere.co.nz
