Composer Valtteri Laurell Pöyhönen presents his Nonet formation of We Jazz Records. Their debut album "Tigers Are Better Looking" is released 3 Feb and the ensemble features internationally renowned Finnish clarinetist Antti Sarpila, plus a strong cast of Helsinki-based musicians from several of the top Finnish groups. The lineup includes Valtteri Laurell Pöyhönen (compositions, electric guitar), Antti Sarpila (clarinet), Jukka Eskola (trumpet, flugelhorn), Petri Puolitaival (alto sax, flute), Jussi Kannaste (tenor sax), Antti Rissanen (trombone), Ville Vannemaa (baritone sax), Ville Herrala (double bass), Jaska Lukkarinen (drums).
The six compositions on the upcoming album are inspired by the short stories of British-Caribbean author Jean Rhys. The first single, "At the Villa d'Or", is set on the French Riviera, where a group of artists have gathered to spend their summer holiday. Laurell's music swings, yet he doesn't stop there, but moves further to paint an original, richly-toned sonic image with the highly potent Nonet.
