Description
Jukka Perko is one of the leading voices on the Finnish jazz scene, combining the strength and musarity of bebop with Nordic melancholy. There are also reflected shadows of European classical music, of the American jazz tradition and of Finnish folk music. Perko has worked alongside such stars as McCoy Tyner, Red Rodney and Niels-Henning rsted Pedersen, and more recently was a member of Wolfgang Haffner's 'Kind of Cool' ensemble. He was also partiarly inspiring on his ACT label debut, 'It Takes Two to Tango,' with another luminary of Finnish jazz, Iiro Rantala. The first thing one notices about Jukka Perko's instrumental trio Avara is its unusual set-up: saxophone, acoustic guitar and electric guitar. While that might seem an outlandish combination, the harmonic inventiveness and the lyricism on the album 'Inible Man' are often so completely jaw-dropping, one has to ask why it hasn t been tried more often. The sound of the group is surprisingly dense for just three players, with each of the constint voices supporting and complementing the others. Elegiac soundscapes reach out into the distance, evocatively shot through with sudden momentary flashes. The prevailing mood might be Finnish-melancholic; but there is always a glimmer of hope. Rather than needing to be loud to establish its presence, this music defines itself with a quiet strength which is all its own.
