William Suvanne Chess'n Jazz

Saxophonist-composer William Suvanne’s fourth album Chess’n Jazz is released this fall, and the album release concerts feature also a special element: an actual chess tournament! The audience may participate in gameplay alongside the concerts, and the winners will be rewarded with album-themes prizes. The tour is supported by Jazz Finland and the Finnish Chess Federation.

What is the case here? Some people say it’s only the 90’s modern post-bop jazz spiced with a little hint of expressionism, some people just say it’s the case of Tomi Kämäräinen. The real thing in this case though is the unique personality of this Finnish drummer, who is presenting his new quartet with his own perspective on music by combining lightness and grace of modern jazz timbre with experiencing Copenhagen in vast and various pictures.
