Juhani Aaltonen trio- raahe, finland july 1st 2001, FLAC

Here’s a truly great concert by legendary alto saxophonist Juhani Aaltonen.
A player who has been a visible presence at least since the late 60’s.

I kow him mostly through the records of the drummer/ bandleader /composer Edward vesala, but also through a few recordings with arild Andersen and the album on tum with reggie workman and Andrew cyrille.

I haven’t heard much that he has recorded under his own name( judging by the discography on his website there are many) ,and after hearing this concert which is superb in every way im certainly going to investigate and aim to check this band out further ( any recommendations would be welcome).
According to his website he also played in the legendary progressive rock band tasavallan presidentti.
I actually bought one of their albums in my late teens not quite knowing what it was , but gave it away because it didn’t appeal at the time.

.. many thanks to the taper/seeder/traders
