Makynen demostrates not only is he a wonderful drummer but a top notch composer as well. Makynen&#8217;s adventurous compositions provide a challenge for Lassy to stretch out and he delivers. &#8220;Liberty pt1 &amp; 2&#8221; opens with Lassy delivering fiery free flowing solos. Makynen is equally up to the task with explosive cymbal work as well. On &#8220;Telemagenta&#8221; Makynen lays out a spirited groove with changing patterns while Lassy&#8217;s restrained yet powerful phrasings paint vibrant colors. &#8220;Dark Cyan&#8221; is a highlight among many that displays Makynen&#8217;s affection for electronic music and the boundless directions he can take his music. Makynen&#8217;s explosive polyrhythms combined with Lassy&#8217;s spiritual playing make for an extraordinary record. Thirteen tracks with each centering around three minutes and all of them packing a punch. Yet another sterling release from the brilliant We Jazz record label. As far as duos go they don&#8217;t get much better than this. Let&#8217;s hope an encore arrives soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tenor saxophonist Timo Lassy and drummer Teppo &#8220;Teddy Rok&#8221; Makynen have collaborated for years on the Finnish Jazz scene but this is their first lp as a duo.
