Eloe Omoe Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Just received it. It sounds great :-) www.tumrecords.com Luca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kari S Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Juhani "Junnu" Aaltonen is a 70-year-old legendary Finnish free saxophonist. Also check "Mother Tongue", also on that TUM Records label. Here's a brief bio: http://www.fimic.fi/fimic/fimic.nsf/mainfr...22566C10046EA02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eloe Omoe Posted February 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Also check "Mother Tongue", also on that TUM Records label. I have that, too Aaltonen has been a favorite of mine since I heard him playing with Arild Andersen's quartet in the Seventies (there's also an ECM record of that group, that has never been out on CD, I guess). A very impressive player. Luca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Got both of those, and they're very nice indeed. Very pensive, soulful music. Had no idea that he was 70, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swinger Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 (edited) As Kari S said,you should also get Mother Tongue (another Finn here?) .Superb playing. I have both of those cds and I've been playing them *several* times in the past 12 months. I've also listened to several other Tum Records cds and while they sound great,those two mentioned above really stand out. Tum Records is a Finnish equivalent to HatHut/ECM---> they release some really high quality music but they are definitely not to everyone's taste.

mjazzg Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 A new release on TUM imminent http://tumrecords.com/036-to-future-memories many of the usual suspects involved so i think we can be confident it'll be up to the usual high standards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Lark Ascending Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Yes I saw that. I'm still awaiting the two TUM discs I ordered a couple of weeks back - one Aaltonen, one Haarla. Though I did secure a copy of the disc with Workman/Cyrille from deepest Gloucestershire. Perhaps this thread could widen to Finnish jazz in general. I'm curious.
