The Five Corners Quintet
Label: Ricky-Tick Records
Agent: Sinan Ors
The Five Corners Quintet is a Helsinki-based postmodern jazz outfit influenced by early sixties straight ahead and latin jazz. Led by producer Tuomas Kallio they are a new extension of the highly acclaimed Nuspirit Helsinki collective.
Supported by taste makers such as Gilles Peterson, Norman Jay, Rainer Truby and Mr. Scruff they blend dance floor friendly contemporary production with musical craftsmanship of the past, creating music that sounds as hip as the classic jazz records but structurally polished and easily accessible as music of today with a phenomenal quintet that appeals to a critical jazz audience and a club crowd.
Festival appearances have included North Sea Jazz Festival and the Oslo Jazz Festival and they return with a new album in winter 2008.
