Sax man Timo Lassy, one of the leading lights in the vivid Helsinki jazz scene has released his second album on Ricky-Tick Records. The LP, “Round Two”, is a trip deeper into Lassy’s world, complete with the contemporary vocal jazz great José James featured on two of album’s eight tracks.
Last night in Helsinki’s Tavastia, Timo was presented with the prestigious Artist of the Year awrad at the Funky Awards organised by the Funky Amigos.
A big THANK YOU goes out to all of those who stepped up to the plate on this one by voting. You jazz!
Timo Lassy is up for awards in two categories at the prestigious Funky Awards, to be announced January 29 at Helsinki’s Tavastia club. You can show your support in categories “Artist of the Year” and “Album of the Year” by clicking here.
