New Jazz From Finland | Barlast (FI)
- Sanna Salonen - soprano saxophone, bass clarinet, mänkeri
- Heikki Hänninen - guitars
- Philip Holm - double bass
- Minna Koskenlahti - drums, flute
Barlast creates spacious new music with a silence echoing in the background.
The silence can be heard between the notes. Everything unnecessary is stripped away.
Only the name remains as ballast.
From the soothing sound of a telecaster to the calling of the mänkeri, the herder’s instrument, from the rumble of a frame drum to a free double bass solo, the aural visions range from 18th century dances to heavy breathing in hazmat suits.
The quartet was noted as one of the highlights in the showcase festival Tallinn Music Week 2017 and has performed in Finland, Estonia and Norway. Their debut album Ihantola, released in 2017 has been described as “a joy, taking the listener on a journey of unexpected peaks and valleys of experimental and exploratory music.”
Barlast is releasing their second album in 2019 and the concert in at the Opus Jazz Club is part of the record release tour.
The concert has been supported by The Swedish Cultural Foundation in Finland
