Live Recordings 2019-2020 Vinyl Record

The dynamic duo of tenor saxophonist Timo Lassy and drummer Teppo Makynen return with a double LP of live recordings captured in 2019 and 2020. The We Jazz Records release 'Live Recordings 2019-2020' follows the duo's 2019 LP which was shortlisted for 'Jazz Album Of the Year' at Gilles Peterson's Worldwide Awards. While the studio album versions were studies in improvisational brevity, the live album let's the long-time collaborators really let loose and build memorable sonic narratives around the compositions. The album is produced and edited by Teppo Makynen, also known as a sought-after producer with the knack for looking at the big picture. From the subtle minimalism of 'Fallow' via the ambient of 'Aero' to the riff-heavy groove of 'Calling James', Timo Lassy & Teppo Makynen breathe their music as one unit, building it based on a mutual trust as fellow musicians. Their duo shows have quickly become celebrated examples of what a long history of playing together can enable on stage when paired with the right mindset and a shared musical goal. This live album follows the ethos of both documenting what's happening and expanding on what was captured in the studio earlier.
