Timo Lassy is a Helsinki-based sax player who likes his sound BIG. There´s the bluesy and soulful undertone as well as the spiritual side to be heard in his playing. As The Guardian´s John L. Walters put it: ”Saxophonist Timo Lassy has storytelling approach to solos”. Baritone, tenor or flute, Timo will deliver. Timo has played in many outfits, such as the Blue Note recording U-Street All Stars, Teddy Rok 7, Jimi Tenor and the mighty Five Corners Quintet and has performed from New York to Istanbul.

In 2006, Ricky-Tick Records released Timo Lassy's first solo 12" EP African Rumble/High At Noon, and the single "The Call/Sweet Spot" was released in spring 2007. These two tracks gave a foretaste what was about to follow!
Timo´s debut album titled “The Soul & Jazz of Timo Lassy” was released by Ricky-Tick Records in Finland and Japan in the summer, and the rest of Europe and the US followed in autumn 2007. Live dates to follow... In the meantime, check out Timo Lassy Band performing the tracks 'Sweet Spot' and 'Early Move' at the album launch party at club Kuudes Linja in Helsinki June 20 2007.

Kaleta & Akoya Afrobeat The Spirit Of Fela Is Alive & Well Mukatsuku Records 4/5 An explosive slice of Afrobeat from Kaleta gets the licensing thumbs up from Mukatsuku, who finally get this gem to the Fela faithful. Originally clocking in at over 14 minutes, its been chopped virtually in half to add more punch and immediacy, whilst on the flip Guynamite and label boss Nik Weston add a more contemporary boogie house twist to the original, in doing so losing none of the vitality or the 'Fela' essence.
Our remix is featured on the new Mr Confuse album titled "Feel The Fire: The Remixes" available digitally! Remix artists include Smoove, Lack Of Afro, Una Mas Trio, The Uptown Felaz etc..

Thanks so much for the add–and your friendship. We enjoyed your music very much. Thanks for sharing it with all of us. It's a pleasure having you among our friends!
We hope you and your friends enjoy our music, too. We've just added four new compositions and two new blogs about Umano.
We wake up every morning and play the music of the new MySpace friends who have arrived at our site during the night. It occurred to us that these friends (you are among them) are almost universally positive, whether they be novices or legends, and without regard to their station in life or the country they occupy.
It also occurred to us that we couldn’t hold a verbal conversation with most of these friends, but we have bridged that gap by expressing our art honestly with each other.
We all have been filling the world with our music and art, in the hope that our messages of love and human understanding will have an impact on the world at large.
What a gift and what an opportunity we have received from this technology!
