Spin the Circle: Timo Lassy – Mountain Man Exit
Finnish's saxophonist Timo Lassy shared a previously unreleased cut on 7" vinyl single Mountain Man Exit and the new version of Orlo from the last year's brilliant album.
Timo Lassy follows up his new album Trio on We Jazz Records by sharing two non-album cuts from the same sessions on a new 7" vinyl single / digi release. Mountain Man Exit is a stormy number featuring the trio of Lassy (tenor sax), Ville Herrala (bass) and Jaska Lukkarinen (drums) in full flight plus Tuomo Prättälä (of Ilmiliekki Quartet) on synth duties. Album track Orlo gets a new treatment, edited for the 7" and taking shape as a tough-as-nails mix breaking new ground here without the string section
