Finnish Jazz group Dalindeo released Kallio, their 3rd album, exclusively in Finland in 2013 and this new issue sees the group’s music brought to a wider audience with this homage to the Kallio district of Helskini. Spy-theme film scores blend with Tarrantino-esq surf jazz to create the soundtrack to a 50s movie not yet made! The slinky ‘Evening At Tokai-Beach’ brings to mind sharp suited secret agents sipping martinis at some tropical island bar unaware of dangerous baddies in their midsts while ‘Twist’ is exactly that – you can almost picture the scene: a room full of young things dressed head to toe in pastels colours jiving away to the record player before something goes disastrously wrong! ‘The Black Cat’ has a bolero feel to it, ‘The Professionals’ is pure chase theme stuff while ‘The Rhythm Of Kallio’ is set to a tango groove complete with that spooky theremin weaving menacingly around, while the frantic, drama filled ‘Devil From Porthan Street’ is big production, action packed finale. The album won the prize of “Best Jazz Album of 2013” at the Emma-Awards, the Finnish Grammys.
