Here’s a nice album from 2023. A tentet is a ‘little big band.’
JazzFinland: “On Rumba Liberte you can hear multidimensional music, where prog shifts are combined with the soundscape of a big band… According to pianist/arranger/bandleader Jukka Linkola you will hear an energetic and surprising ensemble, in whose sounds you can hear a lot of creative madness.”
Jukka has hewn ‘creative madness’ around Europe long enough to have >25 albums on Discogs since 1976. He did another ‘Tentet’ album in 1994. The video is an album tune.
