Limited to 350 LP individually numbered fold-out cover with hype sticker. Uusi Jazzi Klubi first surfaced in 2021 with Nilsiänkadun Rauhansopimus, a debut that introduced the group as a revolving cast of Helsinki players working in a free, modal register. This second album was cut entirely live, with no pre-written structures. Out of roughly ten hours of jamming the band edited six pieces and sequenced them across two halves marked simply DAY 1 and DAY 2, keeping the rough edges of the room intact - the sound of musicians listening hard and committing to whatever the moment throws up. It is improvisation presented as it happened, with the editing doing the work of composition after the fact.

The session was led from the kit by Tanhuala, with Ilkka Uksila on vibraphone, Markus Kankkonen on bass, Joona Hulmi on keys and Markus Holkko on reeds and flute, recorded and shaped at the desk by label head Fredrik Lavik. Across just over half an hour the quintet covers a lot of ground: deep, atmospheric passages where vibraphone and keys hang in suspension; tighter rhythmic grooves driven from the bottom up; and longer, more exploratory stretches that open out toward free playing and a loose modal mysticism. The reeds and vibraphone give much of the record its colour, while the rhythm section keeps even the most abstract moments anchored. Titles such as Arabic UFO and Selonteko yön tapahtumista hint at the range.

at Studio Pelto arrives in the format Jazzaggression has made its own: a limited run of 350 hand-numbered copies in a flip-over sleeve with conceptual artwork and a hype sticker. A document of one room and two particular days, from a scene that keeps turning out work like this. Not to be missed.
