Valtteri Laurell Nonet feat. Antti Sarpila at Sellosali

Tickets €29/€24 + order fee (from €1.50)
Valtteri Laurell Nonet orchestra plays modern, intimate jazz that finds its inspiration in the early 1960s concepts of cool jazz and third stream. Every top artist in this all-star ensemble gets to play a solo as well, but the focus is on clarinet player Antti Sarpila's timeless and soulful expression. Sarpila is mainly known for his orchestras that perform highly traditional swing-era music, and it is wonderful to hear how his sound carries timelessly across different jazz styles.
The theme of the compositions is based on the less known British Caribbean author Jean Rhys's novels, and her only published novel, Wide Sargasso Sea. The melancholy and lifelike imagery of these writings provided Valtteri Laurell Pöyhönen with fertile soil to cultivate his emotive, sorrowful, and yet occasionally light jazz music. We Jazz Records record company from Helsinki will release the band's debut album Tigers Are Better Looking at the beginning of 2023....

Valtteri Laurell Nonet -yhtye esittää modernia, intiimiä jazzmusiikkia, joka ammentaa 1960-luvun alun cool jazz- ja third stream -konsepteista. Jokainen tämän All Star -kokoonpanon huippumuusikoista pääsee myös solistiseen rooliin, mutta yhtyeen valokeilassa on klarinetisti Antti Sarpilan ajaton ja sielukas ilmaisu. Sarpila tunnetaan pääasiassa hyvin perinteisistä swing-ajan musiikkia esittävistä kokoonpanoistaan ja on hieno huomata miten hänen soundinsa kantaa ajattomasti jazz-tyylien halki.
Sävellyskokonaisuuden teemana on vähemmän tunnetun brittiläis-karibialaisen kirjailijattaren Jean Rhysin novellit ja hänen ainoa julkaistu romaaninsa Wide Sargasso Sea (Siintää Sargassomeri). Näiden kirjoitusten melankolinen ja elämänmakuinen tunnelma antoi Valtteri Laurell Pöyhöselle oivaa maaperää säveltää tunnelmallista, haikeaa ja silti hetkittäin valoisaa jazzmusiikkia. Helsinkiläinen We Jazz Records -levy-yhtiö julkaisee yhtyeen debyyttialbumin Tigers Are Better Looking vuoden 2023 alussa.
