After 27 years, Jukka Linkola Tentet returns to the jazz fields renewed, when Turku-based Flame Jazz Records releases the band’s second album, Rumba Liberte. The music from the new album will be heard at Turku Sea Jazz on Saturday. The ensemble, led by the award-winning composer-pianist-conductor Jukka Linkola, combines musicians of the older generation with young artists. The result is a multidimensional and surprising entity full of creative madness. In the band’s music, strong elements of latin music are combined with prog drive and a hint of blues, while ballad tones bring balance.
