about

Released on 11 December 2020, the album Music of Haarla, Heinilä, Kasurinen & Rönkä sees UMO Helsinki Jazz Orchestra play ambitious and original big band music by Finnish composers Iro Haarla, Kari Heinilä, Sampo Kasurinen and Artturi Rönkä. The outcome is a selection of compelling pieces that not only approach the genre from a fresh angle but test the unwritten laws of music more generally. The compositions take UMO Helsinki Jazz Orchestra boldly to untrodden areas while holding on to timeless class. On the new release, the orchestra is conducted by Kirmo Lintinen.

The album Music of Haarla, Heinilä, Kasurinen & Rönkä was mixed by American Paul Wickliffe. The celebrated sound engineer is famous for his long career and studio Skyline Productions, founded in 1979. The studio has been trusted by an endless list of world-famous artists, including Miles Davis, Eric Clapton, Herbie Hancock and David Bowie.
