Odd Jazz, Vol. 2
'Odd Jazz' is a Finnish collaborative album recorded in an all-analog studio, featuring various ensembles exploring spiritual, mostly improvised jazz. Core members Tuure Tammi (trumpet) and Juha Sarkkola (drums, percussion) lead a lineup of musicians who create a diverse yet cohesive sonic journey. Tracks range from the ethereal opener 'Moon Water' to the African-inspired rhythms of 'Koshi Gambo,' the groove-heavy 'Ain't No Answer,' and the Ornette Coleman tribute 'Nette Or Nette.' Experimental and free jazz elements shine in 'Live From The Joint' and 'One More Freaky Tune,' while 'Doll No Sleep' provides a mellow, transcendent closing. The album is an adventurous, boundary-pushing dive into uncharted jazz territories.
