Biography

Intergalactic Huso Orchestra is a vehicle for the dynamic duo of Jari Riitala and Jimbo Mäkeläinen to blast out their vision of fusion jazz meeting progressive rock, with extra flavors from here and there.

On Spaced Out, Jari Riitala's compositions lean on the traditions but always seem to come out a little bit odd-metered and offbeat to bring out new musical angles to the old views. Jimbo Mäkeläinen extracts rhythmic punch into the soup from his long hard rock drumming career but also manages to display many other sides in his playing, combining nicely into a cohesive whole.

Multi-instrumentalist Riitala provides bass, keyboards and over half of the guitars while the other half comes from a roster of international guest stars, one more spectacular than the other, consisting of Teemu Mäkelä, Kari Riihimäki, Ilkka Rantamäki and Steve Thornbrugh. Icing on the cake on selected cuts is provided by Bill Lieske on flute, Michael Lake on trombone and Jussi Mäkelä splitting himself into a full percussion group.
