Timo Lassy is a Helsinki-based sax player who likes his sound BIG. There´s the bluesy and soulful undertone as well as the spiritual side to be heard in his playing. As The Guardian´s John L. Walters put it: ”Saxophonist Timo Lassy has storytelling approach to solos”. Baritone, tenor or flute, Timo will deliver. Timo has played in many outfits, such as the Blue Note recording U-Street All Stars, Teddy Rok 7, Jimi Tenor and the mighty Five Corners Quintet and has performed from New York to Istanbul.

In 2006, Ricky-Tick Records released Timo Lassy's first solo 12" EP African Rumble/High At Noon, and the single "The Call/Sweet Spot" was released in spring 2007. These two tracks gave a foretaste what was about to follow!
Timo´s debut album titled “The Soul & Jazz of Timo Lassy” was released by Ricky-Tick Records in Finland and Japan in the summer, and the rest of Europe and the US followed in autumn 2007. Live dates to follow... In the meantime, check out Timo Lassy Band performing the tracks 'Sweet Spot' and 'Early Move' at the album launch party at club Kuudes Linja in Helsinki June 20 2007.
