Jukka Eskola - Orquesta Bossa

An album of Brazilian-influenced original Scandinavian Jazz ('Scandi-Bossa') tunes from trumpeter Jukka Eskola. Jussi Lampela arranged the strings, which play a big part on the album. The musicians are the cream of Finnish Jazz classical players. The recording sessions were traditionally handled; all 9 musicians played live simultaneously in the same small space. Old 50's and 60's tube microphones were used and sessions recorded on an analog 8-track tape recorder.
