This is the only leader album released in 1982 by Finnish saxophonist Kari Komppa, who is also a member of Ippe Katla Band's only album in 1985, the best secret of Finnish jazz-rock. It is a studio recording of a piece written for a performance at the 1982 Pori Jazz Festival as the Tampere Jazz Orchestra, featuring a total of 14 Finnish jazz musicians. A1/A3, which groove with bright brass ensemble, and B1, a four-part suite titled "Free Aspects," are nice pieces of big band jazz with excellent melody work with a touch of ethnic sentiment.
