Description
'Sisu' marks the beginning of a new chapter for esteemed Estonian pianist and composer Kristjan Randalu - as his first large ensemble project recording. It's also the debut outing for the New Wind Jazz Orchestra conducted by Wolf Kerschek and features special guest trumpeter Ingrid Jensen and guitarist Ben Monder.

Founded in 2018 by Lauri Kadalipp, the New Wind Jazz Orchestra aims to amplify Estonian music internationally through new collaborations. Artistry is at the heart of the orchestra's mission and so Randalu's distinguished reputation (he has worked with the likes of David Liebman, Nils-Petter MolvÃ¦r, and Dhafer Youssef) and smart repertoire were a perfect match for the jazz orchestra.

This nine-track record combines brand new, large ensemble arrangements of original compositions by Randalu, as well as reworkings of established pieces from the Estonian canon. There are no traditional 'swing big band' sounds here; rather, the album features a myriad tapestry of intriguing, pulse-oriented arrangements.
