Master’s degree concert: Ilmari Rönkä, saxophone
Composition of saxophonist and flutist Ilmari Rönkä and some arranged jazz standards.
Rönkä’s compositions utilise a textural writing method, that is unusual for small jazz ensembles. The Finnish lyrics have been written by singer Riikka Keränen. The accompanying but soloistic role of the saxophone is something to be noted in this warm-sounding ensemble.
Performers
- Ilmari Rönkä, alto and soprano saxophone, flute
- Riikka Keränen, vocals
- Héctor Lepe, guitar
- Juuso Rinta, double bass
