Album Description

For some time audio engineer Jarno Alho had an idea cooking in his head. As a music lover the idea was to organise and record a free jazz session. Curious to see and hear the session from the very beginning till end while recording the moment. Finally in late 2023 he and the well known local drummer Janne Tuomi met at lunch to figure out a list of players for the session. They came up with satisfying names from Helsinki, Tampere and Turku who all happened to agree to take part!

The session was agreed to happen right after Christmas Eve 2023. During the darkest and coldest time of the year. Location was chosen to be one of the beautiful old Villa’s around Tampere, Tahmela Villa by the lake Pyhä. The session was a success and magic indeed happened as we all can hear from the recording. This was the birth of Tahmela Six and the album Mount.

Release date: Monday 17.6.2024

The musicians gathered on 29.12.2023, after Christmas, from Helsinki, Turku and Tampere to Tahmela´s Villa, Tampere. The session was recorded full live. The whole group was in the same room all at once improvising and reacting with each other. The session was produced and engineered by Jarno Alho. All compositions by Tahmela Six. The heart of the album is without a question title track Mount, but side two turns the other cheek of the group for the listener´s to dismay. This is a full world and excursion to go through.
