Klaus Suonsaari - Portrait in Sound

'Klaus Suonsaari has put together a collection of compositions and improvisations that has the beautiful openness and creative spirit that is the essence of jazz music. The quartet's free-flowing explorations are a wonderous 'Portrait In Sound' indeed. I loved it!' - Joe Lovano Saxophonist/Blue Note Recording Artist At a time when jazz lurches back to embrace more populist leanings, Klaus Suonsaari is headed in the other direction. Along with my man Scott Robinson, Klaus is advancing a concept I find very enjoyable to listen to. This band lives up to the ideal of jazz as a thinking man's music. Bravo. - Branford Marsalis Saxophonist/Marsalis Music Recording Artist 'These guys really sound great. I have known them for over twenty years and they are still going at it. Strong, powerful, subtle - everything you need yo have a great group sound. Go for it!' - George Garzone Saxophonist/NYC Recording Artist Klaus Suonsaari Quartet 'Portrait In Sound' is the premiere release from KSJAZZ - a new record company designed to provide a home for committed creative musicians.
