Our Take

Estonian pianist Kristjan Randalu teams up with the New Wind Jazz Orchestra on their latest album, "Sisu." This collaboration is like a quirky blend of classic jazz and avant-garde experimentation, creating a sound that is as unpredictable as it is captivating.

From the very first note, Randalu's intricate piano playing grabs your attention and refuses to let go. His playful melodies dance around the orchestra's bold brass section, creating a musical tapestry that is both elegant and audacious.

Tracks like "Sisu" and "Northern Eagle" showcase Randalu's ability to seamlessly blend tradition with innovation, offering listeners a fresh take on what big band jazz can be. The orchestra's tight arrangements complement Randalu's virtuosic playing, creating a dynamic sound that is at once complex and accessible.

But don't be fooled by the album's outward elegance - there is a mischievous spirit lurking beneath the surface. Tracks like "Crazy Train" and "Funky G" veer into experimental territory, pushing the boundaries of traditional jazz and offering listeners a glimpse into Randalu's unorthodox musical mind.

Overall, "Sisu" is a bold and daring statement from Kristjan Randalu and the New Wind Jazz Orchestra. It's a testament to their creativity and a reminder that jazz is a living, breathing art form that continues to evolve and surprise. So sit back, relax, and let yourself be swept away by the sheer audacity of "Sisu."
