Timo Lassy & Teppo Mäkynen

Live Recordings 2019-2020 WE JAZZ. CD/DL/LP

The Finnish sax/ percussion duo skirt similar improv territory to Binker & Moses across the slow and low Fallow, ambient shadowplay of Kobi and slowly unravelling freeness of Liberty on a live set that opens up the tone poems of 2019’s tightlywound debut to let them breathe more freely. The simplicity of Lassy’s tenor with Mäkynen’s rhythmic hooks is seductive.
