Jussi Lampela Nonet Feat. Jukka Eskola - Lampela & Eskola

The latest release by Helsinki's Ricky-?Tick Records, "Lampela X Eskola", is the fruitful meeting of composer Jussi Lampela and trumpet star Jukka Eskola. The Jussi Lampela Nonet, featured on the album with Eskola on trumpet, is a tough collection of Finnish jazz A?listers, and their music is potent contemporary jazz with an aesthetic edge reminiscent of the "cool jazz" era and the famous co-?operation of Miles Davis and Gil Evans. On "Lampela X Eskola", composer Jussi Lampela realizes his dream of recording an album in the "cool jazz" vein not unlike that of Miles Davis's and Gil Evens.
