The Helsinki-based Bowman Trio return with their second LP on We Jazz Records on November 1. "Persistence" is a strong effort, showcasing the young trio's knack at creating dynamic, sparse and memorable music which carries well the term "loft jazz" occasionally attached to it. The first track shared from the album is "Mac Elliot", a slyly grooving tune carried by the strong bassline by Joonas Tuuri and composer/drummer Sami Nummela's solid work with brushes. Trumpeter Tomi Nikku gets the solo spot and the band does what they do best: creating moods with plenty of room for the listener to get into the Bowman zone.
