It took a long time to build this CD, but the result is worth
waiting. Originally Jartse Tuominen, our finnish guitar virtuoso, started it almost a decade ago gathering together the best fellow musicians in the country. The word of the sessions spread around and more and more of talented music makers wanted to take part in this project, that was to become something unique. The melodies from Jartse's guitar lived on while the long and winding road led him to various parts of the world - and back again to the hot prairies of Texas.
But not until February 2001 the songs got their ultimate form.
Far away up in the north, in the freezing mountain sceneries of Lapland, took place the sixth Ylläs Jazz Blues festival. Under a dark blue sky a dipper was diving in an ice cold mountain brook, when suddenly majestic Northern lights appeared in the nocturne. With the lights dancing in the velvet night the incredible incidence felt to be someting unreal. Can you hear Jartse playing with the Northern lights?
