CD ANOTHER NORTH

Description

'Another North' is the second album by Finnish pianist Aki Rissanen, released on November 10, 2017. This album delivers intense rhythmic structures, pulsating grooves, and hypnotic loops, pushing the boundaries of the traditional Nordic jazz trio. Rissanen, along with bassist Antti Lötjönen and drummer Teppo Mäkynen, creates a dynamic and innovative sound that blends jazz with elements of contemporary classical music. The album also features a reimagined version of Ligeti's 'Étude 5: Arc-en-ciel', paying homage to the influence of Bill Evans. 'Another North' stands as a testament to the trio's artistic growth and their commitment to exploring new musical directions.
