3TM - Form '2017

Tracks list

Drummer/producer Teppo Mäkynen (of Teddy's West Coasters, The Stance
Brothers, The Five Corners Quintet) presents his new major work during the fall
of 2017. 3TM is a trio formation including Mäkynen, tenor sax man Jussi
Kannaste and bassist Antti Lötjönen. Mäkynen, manning the drum seat in
the combo, is using samples and sounds here to break off from the standard aural
image of the jazz trio. What we have instead, is a new world of sound rooted
somewhere in between acoustic jazz and abstract electronic music, blurring the
lines of genre and time. The CD and 2LP editions of the album include a source
book featuring photos taken by Mäkynen. These images serve as the visual
roadmap into the world of 3TM, at times abstract and spacious, at times intense
and swinging. ***AWARDED AS FINNISH JAZZ ALBUM OF THE YEAR 2017***
