Their debut album Tigers Are Better Looking is released 3 Feb and the ensemble features internationally renowned Finnish clarinetist Antti Sarpila, plus a strong cast of Helsinki-based musicians from several of the top Finnish groups.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBased on the writings of British-Caribbean author Jean Rhys (1890–1979), the 6-track album is a melancholy, intimate chamber jazz creation. Laurell's music swings, yet he doesn't stop there, but moves further to paint an original, richly-toned sonic image with the highly potent Nonet.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLaurell states Gerry Mulligan, Miles Davis's \"Water Babies\" and Charles Mingus among the key musical influences of his compositions on this album. Through Rhys's text, Laurell finds a special sense of detachment and melancholy evident in his new material. Antti Sarpila's masterful clarinet provides the icing on the cake, floating high above the clouds of sound.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"We Jazz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42245819007132,"sku":"WJLP44","price":24.3,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/1_00d5be20-44dd-4baa-a8a2-057e4881b76d.jpg?v=1671715670","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/valtteri-laurell-nonet-tigers-are-better-looking-lp","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
