   About New Orleans Helsinki Connection
SUOMEA LÖYTYY ALEMPAA...

New Orleans Helsinki Connection is a group of New Orleans and Helsinki based musicians that play traditional New Orleans jazz with a youthful 21st century touch. Its members represent the very best of this style in their homelands and have been playing together in various bands for years. In the summer of 2002, a long time dream of a joint band finally became reality. The band had a successful three-week tour in Finland. In the fall of 2003, New Orleans Helsinki Connection headed in to the studio, and the new, aptly titled CD "At Last" came out in April 2004. Since then, the NOHC has been often heard on the WWOZ jazz station (also live from Satchmo Fest 2008) and the CD is available again after being out of print for some time. In August 2004, the NOHC performed very successfully at Sildajazz Festival in Haugesund, Norway, at Lahden Jazztori Festival in Lahti, Finland and at Storyville Jazz Club in Helsinki, Finland. Fall 2008 saw the NOHC performing extensively in Brazil (São Paulo, Brasília, Belo Horizonte, Rio de Janeiro, Aracaju, and Recife). In New Orleans, the band has been seen for example at the French Quarter Festival (2005-2007), Satchmo Fest (2008), Gentilly Fest (2008), New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival (2009), Columns Hotel, National Historical Park, Donna's Bar & Grill, and at Snug Harbor.

The band includes the following musicians:
Tricia Boutté, vocals
Leroy Jones, trumpet and vocals
Katja Toivola, trombone
Todd Duke, guitar
Paul Longstreth, piano
Nobu Ozaki, bass
Thomas Rönnholm, drums

Connection's program consist mainly of New Orleans jazz classics like "Shake It And Break It" and "Palm Court Strut" but also includes gospel and blues numbers, jazz standards, and original compositions.

Things said about "At Last":
"-- the players communicate like longtime friends throughout. Their Connection is strong." Keith Spera, The Times Picayune 30/4/2004
"-- a nice meeting of friends that should please their many fans on both sides of the pond." Geraldine Wyckoff, OffBeat 5/2004

SUOMI:

New Orleans Helsinki Connection on neworleanslaisten ja suomalaisten muusikoiden muodostama yhtye, joka soittaa perinteistä New Orleans -jazzia nuorekkaalla 2000-luvun otteella. Sen jäsenet edustavat tyylisuunnan parhaimmistoa kotimaissaan ja ovat soittaneet yhdessä erilaisissa kokoonpanoissa jo vuosien ajan. Kesällä 2002 pitkäaikainen suunnitelma yhteisestä bändistä toteutui ja yhtyeellä oli menestyksekäs kolmiviikkoinen kiertue eri puolilla Suomea. Lisäksi yhtye esiintyi myös New Orleansissa. New Orleans Helsinki Connection levytti loka-marraskuussa 2003 ja osuvasti nimetty levy "At Last" ilmestyi huhtikuussa 2004. Levynjulkaisua juhlistettiin keikkojen merkeissä New Orleansissa. Elokuussa 2004 NOHC esiintyi Sildajazz-festivaalilla Haugesundissa Norjassa, Lahden Jazztorilla, Töölön kirkossa sekä Storyvillessä. Tämän jälkeen yhtyettä on nähty mm. Brasiliassa (2008 - São Paulo, Brasília, Belo Horizonte, Rio de Janeiro, Aracaju ja Recife), New Orleansin French Quarter Festivalilla (2005-2007), Satchmo Festivalilla (2008, keikka radioitiin suorana WWOZ-kanavalla), Gentilly Festivalilla, New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festivalilla (2009), Columns Hotellissa, National Historical Parkissa, Donna's Bar & Grillissä sekä Snug Harborissa.

Yhtyeeseen kuuluvat seuraavat muusikot:
Tricia Boutté, laulu
Leroy Jones, trumpetti ja laulu
Katja Toivola, pasuuna
Todd Duke, kitara
Paul Longstreth, piano
Nobu Ozaki, basso
Thomas Rönnholm, rummut

Connectionin ohjelmisto koostuu pääosin "Bourbon Street Paraden" ja "Bogalusa Strutin" kaltaisista New Orleans -jazzin klassikoista, mutta mukana on myös gospel- ja blues-numeroita sekä jazz-standardeja sekä uusia sävellyksiä.

New Orleans Helsinki Connectionin "At Last" -levystä on kirjoitettu mm. seuraavaa:
"Kyseessä on hyvin tehty ja onnistunut 14 raitaa sisältävä otos siitä, mitä on traditioita kunnioittava jazz syntymäkaupungissaan New Orleansissa. Asialla on riemastuttava kokoonpano New Orleans Helsinki Connection, joka on soittanut ison veden molemmin puolin, joko yhdessä tai yksittäisinä soittajina." Osku Rajala, Jazzrytmit 3/2004
"-- de spänstiga framföranden gör mycket mera av skivan än ett vy- eller visitkort. Det är fråga om levande, välkryddad New Orleans av i dag." Jan-Erik Holmberg, Hufvudstadsbladet 2/6/2004
"-- the players communicate like longtime friends throughout. Their Connection is strong." Keith Spera, The Times Picayune 30/4/2004
"-- a nice meeting of friends that should please their many fans on both sides of the pond." Geraldine Wyckoff, OffBeat 5/2004
