Record release gig for Tuomas Paukku Scription!
Scription’s music is strongly based on modern jazz impressionism and post-bop but it seeks new landscapes and dimension boldly stretching the boundaries of old traditions and the music makes room especially for through-composed sections and structures.

SOUND & FURY
Composer-percussionist Edward Vesala Sound and Fury was one of the most praised jazz ensemble in Europe during 1986 to 1999. Ten years after Vesala’s death the original wind instrument section decided to gather for a ten-year memorial concert. The album Pulsacion, which features Iro Haarla’s arrangements of Vesala’s compositions, was born in 2013. For the first time the new Thundering of Dawn album consist of compositions by Haarla and Jorma Tapio besides the pieces composed by Vesala. New members of the group are trumpeter Antero Priha and percussionist Simo Laihonen. Vesala’s heritage lives on in many Finnish and international ensembles and this album takes the message warmly forward.
