A top musician in the local scene revered by his contemporaries and sought after as a band member, Kannaste now presents his new work \u003cem\u003eOut Of Self and Into Others\u003c\/em\u003e on We Jazz Records.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHis quartet, \u003cem\u003eKannaste4\u003c\/em\u003e, brings together Finnish musicians Tomi Nikku (of Bowman Trio) and Joonas Riippa, plus Berlin-based Swedish bassist Petter Eldh (of Koma Saxo \/ Post Koma and Y-OTIS), and features an all original program penned by Kannaste. His music is highly personal contemporary jazz leaning into modes of avantgarde expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt times quiet as a whisper, at times fiery and swinging, \u003cem\u003eOut Of Self and Into Others\u003c\/em\u003e is a product of a deep marinade, a debut album that feels like much more than \"just\" that. Singles \"\u003cem\u003eNew Life\u003c\/em\u003e\" and \"\u003cem\u003eNo Name\u003c\/em\u003e\" fit well for showcasing the different energy levels of the album.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eNew Life\u003c\/em\u003e\", which has existed as a live version already during previous iterations of Kannaste's live band, invites the listener right in, and soon surprises by presenting him in a hushed solo setting, sans the rhythm section, during which the saxophonist provides a brief introduction into each of the compositions on the album.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis album, full of compositional innovation that feels at the same time natural and unique, peels back and adds layers from the first moments on. \"\u003cem\u003eNo Name\u003c\/em\u003e\", a hauntingly beautiful quiet time ballad is a captivating listen, its sparsity lending the track remarkable quiet intensity. \"\u003cem\u003eIt's All Good\u003c\/em\u003e\", another key piece, is offered here as two versions bookending the LP edition's side B.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe lax vibe of the piece delivers its message that feels soothing yet almost radical in its momentary acceptance of it all. \u003cstrong\u003eJussi Kannaste\u003c\/strong\u003e (born 1976) is a saxophonist and educator based in Helsinki.
