Our Take

Finnish bassist Ville Herrala's latest album, Pu:in, is a delightful romp through the realms of jazz fusion and avant-garde experimentation. With a lineup of top-notch musicians, including trumpet player Verneri Pohjola and saxophonist Jussi Kannaste, Herrala creates a sonic landscape that is both intricate and infectious.

The album kicks off with the frenetic energy of "Piitu," a track that showcases Herrala's prowess on the bass and sets the tone for the rest of the album. From there, the listener is taken on a rollercoaster ride of shifting rhythms, unexpected harmonies, and mind-bending solos.

Standout tracks include the ethereal "Sade," which features haunting melodies and a pulsating groove, and the sprawling epic "Metsä," which builds to a thunderous climax that will leave you breathless.

Overall, Pu:in is a masterful display of Herrala's talent as a composer and bandleader. With its mix of intricate compositions and fiery improvisation, this album is sure to please both jazz purists and casual listeners alike. So grab your headphones, sit back, and let Ville Herrala take you on a musical journey like no other. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
