Nu Spirit of HelsinkiやFive Corners Quintetのフロントとして近年脚光を浴びているユッカ.エスコラの1st。ヨーロッパのクラブ系のラッパには上手い糸が多いが、彼も名門シベリウス.アカデミー出身であり、クラシカルなトレーニングを積んだ端正な音色はイタリアのファブリツィオ.ボッソと並ぶ若手ヨーロッパジャズ界の代表格と言える。
I got a tatse of Timber Up on Pandora and decided to seek out this hard to find artist. It was utterly worth it. Very smooth jazzy compilation. Buttercup and 1974 have grown on me but I must say Timber-Up is the crown jewel. Timber up has some dope piano interjections that bring you back to South Side Chicago in the 70s on a rainy day.
I don't know what happened to this group but its a tight cohesive collection from start to finish. Its got funk. Its got pep. Even some interesting scratches and hip hop inspiration. I would not be shocked that in say 10 years you here his work sampled.
If you like Soulive, Lettuce, Brand New Heavies, Jamiroquai, or Candy Dulfer; you should test this out. The tough part is finding a copy. If you can't bounce your head to this. Go to the doctor and get your pulse checked.
Man, Where do I start. I love 'Timber Up' its so much like Roy Ayers, Ronnie Laws. Just so much energy. All of the tracks. I look forward to investigating his other work.
Jukka Eskolas self titled album is one of my favorite if not my favorite album that i have ever heard. Every song just gets better and better the more you listen to them. I would recommend this album to anyone.
