Timo Lassy plays the saxophone like he means it. Listen to him, and you hear someone fully dedicated to his art, no matter what the context. Timo is the winner of the EMMA and Yrjö prizes in Finland for jazz album of the year and jazz musician of the year, respectively. Additionally, his work has been lauded by the likes of Gilles Peterson and Downbeat. At the time of writing, a new musical adventure is just around the corner. ”Trio” by Timo Lassy will be released on August 28, 2021, by We Jazz Records. The trio mentioned on the title is a new one, featuring Ville Herrala on double bass and Jaska Lukkarinen (of Dalindèo) on drums. Additionally, the album showcases a new sound for Lassy, bringing in electrronics and a large string section, suddenly making the album’s title something of an understatement. But that’s the deal with Timo Lassy: You always get more than what you came for.
