   About Spirit Of New Orleans


PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR ENGLISH...

Spirit Of New Orleans eli SONO perustettiin syksyllä 2001. Yhtyeen tavoitteena on soittaa New Orleans -jazzia niin kuin sitä nykyisin soitetaan jazzin syntymäkaupungissa. New Orleansin musiikkielämä on edelleen - jopa vuoden 2005 tulvan jälkeen - erittäin vilkasta ja kaupungissa on lukemattomia erityylisiä jazz-yhtyeitä, joiden soitosta SONO ammentaa vaikutteita. Keskeistä ohjelmistossa on hyväntuulisuus ja tanssittavuus - musiikin laadusta ja taiteellisuudesta tinkimättä.

Ensimmäisten vuosiensa aikana Spirit Of New Orleans on tehnyt yhteistyötä neworleanslaisen trumpetistin Leroy Jonesin, neworleanslaisten laulajien Tricia Bouttén ja Yolanda Windsayn, ruotsalaisen laulajan Miriam Aïdan sekä suomalaisten laulajien Eeppi Ursinin ja Susanna Mesiän kanssa. Tulevaisuudessa yhtye tulee tekemään yhteistyötä myös muiden neworleanslaisten solistien kanssa. Vuonna 2004 SONO esiintyi Fiji International Jazz & Blues Festivaalilla Fidji-saarilla, Waiheke Island Of Jazz –festivaalilla Uudessa Seelannissa sekä eräällä Euroopan merkittavimmistä traditionaalisen jazzin tapahtumista, Jazz Ascona New Orleans & Classics –festivaalilla Sveitsissä. Lisäksi SONO on esiintynyt useilla kotimaisilla jazz-festivaaleilla, mm. Pori Jazzissa, Baltic Jazzissa, Korpo Sea Jazzissa, Ruskaswingeissä, Imatra Big Band –festivaalilla, Ylläs Jazz Bluesissa, Tornion Kalott Jazz & Bluesissa, Linna-Jazzissa, Kotkan Jazz By The Sea –tapahtumassa ja Otava Happy Jazzissa. Yhtye on nähty keikalla myös mm. Storyvillessä, Santa Féssä, Sture Jazz Clubilla sekä Jämsän Hiidenkirnussa. Kaikkialla on vastaanotto ollut erittäin positiivista; sekä järjestäjät että yleisö ovat nauttineet yhtyeen musiikista.

SONOn ohjelmisto sisältää paljon Suomessa harvemmin kuultuja mutta New Orleansissa klassikon asemassa olevia kappaleita. Vanhimpia kappaleita edustavat 1900-luvun alussa sävelletyt "Mobile Stomp", "Panama Rag", "Fidgety Feet" ja "Bogalusa Strut". Ohjelmistoon on otettu myös New Orleansissa viime vuosina sävellettyjä kappaleita kuten Kermit Ruffinsin "Meet Me At The Second Line" ja Leroy Jonesin "Carnival's In Town" sekä "The Sea Horsen" ja "Montego Bouncen" kaltaista originaalituotantoa.

Yhtyeen uusin, hyvät arvostelut saanut, "Some Of These Days" -levy julkaistiin toukokuussa 2006. Solisteina levyllä ovat Eeppi Ursin ja Leroy Jones. SONOn ensimmäisen levy, "Bogalusa Strut", ilmestyi kesällä 2002. Mainion vastaanoton saaneita levyjä on soitettu radiossa, erityisesti WWOZ-jazzkanavalla. Spirit Of New Orleansin peruskokoonpano on viisijäseninen: Risto Salmi - saksofoni, Katja Toivola - pasuuna, Jarkko Palokas - kitara, Jussi Harju - sousafoni ja Thomas Rönnholm - rummut.

ENGLISH:

Helsinki based Spirit Of New Orleans a.k.a. SONO was founded in the fall of 2001. The band's goal is to play New Orleans jazz as it is played in jazz's birthplace today. The music scene in New Orleans is still very vibrant – even after Katrina - and the city has numerous jazz bands playing in different styles. These bands like the Leroy Jones Quintet, Kermit Ruffins & The Barbecue Swingers, Bob French's Original Tuxedo Jazz Band and others are the inspiration for SONO. The aim is to play hip, funky, hard-swinging, yet traditional jazz that will get the people dancing and feeling good - not forgetting the artistic standards.

During its first years Spirit Of New Orleans has been working with Leroy Jones, one of New Orleans' finest trumpeters, with the very fine vocalists Tricia Boutté and Yolanda Windsay from New Orleans and Miriam Aïda from Sweden, and with Finnish singers Eeppi Ursin and Susanna Mesiä. The band has performed at many major Finnish jazz festivals (Pori Jazz, Imatra Big Band Festival, Linna-Jazz, Baltic Jazz, Korpo Sea Jazz, Ruskaswing, Ylläs Jazz Blues, Kalott Jazz & Blues, Jazz by The Sea, Otava Happy Jazz, etc.) and at various clubs, including Storyville and Sture Jazz Clubs in Helsinki. The reception has been very positive everywhere: both the audience and the promoters have enjoyed SONO's music. In the spring of 2004, SONO made a two-week tour in Fiji and New Zealand and in July 2004 the band played at one of the biggest festivals for traditional jazz in Europe, the JazzAscona New Orleans & Classics in Switzerland.

SONO's repertoire includes many classic songs that are rarely heard outside of New Orleans. The oldest songs that SONO plays hail from the early 1900's and are part of a standard traditional repertoire in New Orleans. "Mobile Stomp", "Bogalusa Strut", "Panama Rag", and "Fidgety Feet" all represent the early years of jazz. SONO also plays songs that have been composed by New Orleans' artists in the recent years - Leroy Jones' "Carnival's In Town" and Kermit Ruffins' "Meet Me At The Second Line" are prime examples of the continuing tradition.

The band's latest CD "Some Of These Days" featuring Eeppi Ursin and Leroy Jones was released in May 2006. SONO's first CD "Bogalusa Strut" came out in the summer of 2002. Both CDs have received a lot of airplay, especially on the WWOZ jazz station. The regular lineup of the band is a quintet: Risto Salmi - saxophone, Katja Toivola - trombone, Jarkko Palokas - guitar, Jussi Harju - sousaphone, and Thomas Rönnholm - drums.
