Bio
.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... ...... ..Myspace Editor.... ..Pimp MySpace.. .... Pianist, keyboardist and composer ..Jussi Fredriksson ..is best known for working with his own trio J.F.T. and award-winning group Reactor-5. In addition, he has been busy collaborating with other artists like Jukka Perko, Tim Hagans, Joonatan Rautio, UMO Jazz Orchrestra and Norrbotten Big Band to name a few. Now he is about to release his debut album .."Busy Turtles" ..including seven compositions of energetic modern 21st century jazz. .. .. The musicians on "Busy Turtles" represent the top ranks of today..s jazz with such names as.. Tero Saarti.. of Umo Jazz Orchestra on trumpet and the phenomenal ..Teemu Viinikainen ..on guitar. Behind them you can find two rowdy giants of rhythm; bassist ..Ville Huolman ..and drummer ..Jussi Lehtonen ..form an explosive rhythm section that is not lacking energy or skill. .. .. Fredrikssons music has a wide variety of influences, ranging from acoustic jazz of the days gone by to the electric sounds of today. This album is not trying to catch a certain retro kind of atmosphere, even though old Moogs and several other vintage instruments and recording equipment used on the album hint at the 70s fusion jazz, such as Weather Report, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea and Jan Hammer. Despite the high energy and effervescent colors of the album, one can not avoid hearing also Fredriksson..s Scandinavian roots that spices things up with a bit melancholic and thoughtful flavors. On the other hand, "Busy Turtles" pays respect to traditional music-centered way of artistic progress and is not trying to sound anything but itself, which brings the music even stronger to this day. .. .. His composing differs from traditional way of writing jazz, creating exceptionally long and multidimensional themes. Improvised solos are not necessarily the main point of the song but an important part of the composition as a whole. Some tracks take the listener on a long journey as well as some create bluesy and relaxed moods. Fredrikssons organic use of odd time signatures is also characteristic to his unique compositional style. .. .. "Busy Turtles" introduces a fresh way of combining the roots of acoustic and electronic jazz with the great talent of the young generation of jazz musicians in Finland. Enjoy! .. .. Order your copy here! .. ....LEVYKAUPPA ÄX.... .. ....STUPIDO.... .. -

TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT NOT SETTLING ...
"DON'T SETTLE for LESS.
DON'T SETTLE for someone YOU DON'T LIKE as your partner.
DON'T SETTLE for a JOB you don’t like.
DON'T SETTLE for "friends" who make you feel like a lesser person.
DON'T SETTLE for a LIFE you are UNHAPPY WITH.
GO FOR what you REALLY WANT.
STRIVE FOR the BEST – you don’t deserve anything
LESS THAN THAT."

TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT THE SPIRIT OF LOVE ...
"You will find as you look back upon your LIFE
that the MOMENTS when you have REALLY LIVED
are the MOMENTS when you have DONE THINGS
in the SPIRIT OF LOVE."
~ Henry Drummond
THERE ARE FOUR QUESTIONS OF VALUE IN LIFE.
WHAT IS SACRED? OF WHAT IS THE SPIRIT MADE?
WHAT IS WORTH LIVING FOR, AND WHAT IS WORTH
DYING FOR? THE ANSWER TO EACH IS THE SAME.
ONLY LOVE.

TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT THE MOTOWN SOUND ...
In 1959, Berry Gordy gathered the best musicians from Detroit's thriving jazz and blues scene to begin cutting songs for his new record company. Starting with an $800 loan, Gordy turned MOTOWN RECORDS and Detroit, Michigan into "HITSVILLE U.S.A."
Between 1959 and 1972, this unheralded group of musicians had played on MORE # 1 HITS than the
> BEACH BOYS,
> the ROLLING STONES,
> ELVIS
> and the BEATLES ... COMBINED ~
which makes them the GREATEST HIT MACHINE in the history of popular music.
These great musicians called themselves simply
the FUNK BROTHERS.
I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN THE SHADOWS OF MOTOWN
AND OWE MUCH TO THEIR RICH MUSICAL LEGACY.

"My idea of CHRISTMAS, whether old-fashioned or modern, is very simple: LOVING OTHERS.
Come to think of it, WHY DO WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR CHRISTMAS TO DO THAT?"
