Infinita: Time Continuum

Read "Time Continuum" reviewed by Anthony Shaw

by Anthony Shaw
May 12, 2013

The opening 30 seconds of “Wild," the appropriately named first track on this exploration of the Time Continuum, belies the melody and the meter of the music that follows.

by Jack Bowers
February 16, 2006

In Finland, world-class big band jazz is spelled UMO. The country's premier large ensemble, now ably conducted by Kirmo Lintinen, has been defining big band jazz with a Scandinavian accent for more than three decades.
