Bringing together five seasoned musicians from Finland, Turkey, Sweden, Palestine
and Spain, JUSSI REIJONEN: un traverses the boundaries
between musical cultures, paying tribute to the traditions of American and Scandinavian
jazz and the folk musics of the Middle East and Africa in its search for new
sounds and textures. Reijonens original music draws from a wide pool
of influences and experiences gathered growing up in five different countries
on three different continents; in both his original compositions and his playing,
the open spaces and silences of Scandinavia effortlessly rub shoulders with
the maqamat of the Arab world and the rhythmic richness of India and West Africa,
creating a truly enchanting musical mosaic.
Between the five of them, the quintet -
Jussi Reijonen on fretless/fretted guitars
and the 11-string Arabic lute oud, Utar Artun
on piano, Bruno
Råberg on acoustic bass, and
Tareq Rantisi and Sergio Martinez on
percussion shares an impressive resume that reads like a whos-who
of contemporary jazz and world music: the members have worked with the likes
of Paul Simon, Jack deJohnette, Pepe de Lucia, Enrique Morente, Diego el Cigala,
Simon Shaheen, Javier Limón, Maria Schneider, Rudresh Mahanthappa, Bobby
McFerrin, George Garzone, Ben Monder, Mick Goodrick, David Fiuczynski, Steve
Smith, and Alejandro Sanz.
The Quintet traverses the supposed boundaries between musical
cultures effortlessly, with a blend of humility, grace, and presence.
This special performance at Ryles commemorates the release of
the Jussi Reijonen's debut album * un * (released Feb 26, 2013) and will feature
Palestinian qanun prodigy Ali Amr as special guest artist. And other special
guests...
