JUKKA ESKOLA
BUTTERCUP/1974
RICKY TICK, FINLAND

More upfront jazz goodness from reliable Ricky Tick; Five Corners Quintet link Jukka laces the racy ‘Buttercup’ with off-the-top electric piano, sax and flugelhorn (more of these on records please) to a definite hi-hatted house tempo. ‘1974’ is easy like Sunday morning when decked in its Sunday best, more horns, keys, bass and drums arranged into pure audio caramel.
