Antti Annola: Whirlpool (2022)

Antti Annola‘s debut album Whirlpool is a collection of pieces from fear of loss to peace of mind along the human life – and everything in between. The album consists of beautiful melodies, mystical stories and intensive storytelling by means of improvisation.

The album holds five of Annola’s own songs and three other compositions. The album was named after the title song: Whirlpool.

“The natural flow and liberated expression of the whole make for a delightfully resonant listening experience. One that even I — having served on the juries of several international jazz vocal competitions, and being notoriously picky and skeptical toward male jazz singers — receive positively. Excellent work, Annola and company.

His way of articulating and controlling his voice gives the album’s jazz tracks nuances that one would hardly believe to be of Finnish origin. Not to mention his scat singing. Wonderful and thoroughly enjoyable.“
