”The Quintet Live!”

The Contrasts-group

KSJAZZ (884501634816) – 2011  

The tour, organized by the Finnish Jazz Fed. in 2008 was recorded, and this CD was put together from the selected material. This  live-recording gives an interesting point of comparison to the original studio recording  of the group (AMK-1004).

It shows how five creative musicians are continuously able to strengthen the character and sound of a group from performance to performance.  Released by Klaus Suonsaari’s KSJazz label. Manuel Dunkel – tenor and sopr. sax, Mikko Innanen – alto sax, Georgos Kontrafouris – piano, Wade Mikkola – bass, Klaus Suonsaari – drums.
