Pu:

We Jazz Records presents Pu:, the boundary-breaking solo debut of bass player Ville Herrala, to be released on 21 February 2020. Utilising only the double bass but looking at the instrument from various different perspectives. The end result is an inspired set of 14 miniatures, each pushing the concept forward in a highly personal way.

The first single Pu: 12 presents a rhythmic approach with echoes of from the world of minimal classical music and electronic music. Bowed tracks such as Pu: 2 offer another perspective, as does the second single Pu: 10, going back to the essence of the instrument and opening new doors while doing so. Each of the tracks is a compact musical adventure unto its own.
