To Future Memories

To Future Memories - The Music of Antti Hytti features Finland's legendary master saxophonist/flutist Juhani Aaltonen (b. 1935) with his extended quartet that here includes, in addition to it's regular members pianist Iro Haarla, bassist Ulf Krokfors and drummer Reino Laine, also bassist Ville Herrala and percussionist Tatu R"nkk". They bring additional rhythmic diversity to the music compared the quartet's much lauded first recording, Conclusions (TUM 21). On To Future Memories, Aaltonen presents a selection of compositions by composer, bandleader and bassist Antti Hytti (b. 1952), many of which were originally composed by Hytti for feature movies or short films in the 1980s and 1990s, with Aaltonen as a featured soloist already on the original movie versions. The compositions range from the beauty and quiet contemplation of "Ursula", "Kukunor" and the title tune to the mystical unknown worlds of "Hiisi" and "Haze" but also include Aaltonen improvising on the tenor saxophone at the top of his powers on "Reminiscence" and "All The Birds".
