International press quotes:
"The Soul & Jazz of Timo Lassy is certainly one of the auspicious debuts of the 2007 calendar year, and listeners don't have to wait for him to "fully develop" -- whatever that means -- because the cat's canny, young, utterly hip, and sophisticated as a player, sure, but also as a bandleader, composer, and arranger. Take notice, this is just the beginning; Lassy is coming on strong."
Thom Jurek,
All Music Guide
"Tenor saxophonist Timo Lassy rolls up his sleeves and hoses down the street with a gritty and gutsy release titled The Soul & Jazz of Timo Lassy."
George Harris,
All About Jazz
"His lively, narrative approach of playing combined to the swiching of moods and technical skills are sure to get the crowds going at the latest by the time he hits the first bars of his solo."
"All you really need to say about Timo Lassy's solo debut is: everything here is on the spot!"
Magagin
"The Soul & Jazz of Timo Lassy grooves like a moose." (ancient Finnish proverb)
Risto Haapsamo, Kaleva
"Supposed
