about

Founded in 2001, the Helsinki-based Spirit Of New Orleans a.k.a. SONO has graced the Fiji Islands, Auckland and Waiheke in New Zealand, Ascona in Switzerland, and a multitude of clubs and festivals in Finland with its music. SONO's members are seasoned professionals that have played with a host of well-known bands, both in Finland and abroad.

On this disk, SONO is featuring the great Eeppi Ursin, one of the rising vocalists of her native Finland and New Orleans’ own Leroy Jones, internationally known and highly accomplished trumpeter and singer. The songs on the CD range from traditional New Orleans classics like Sugar Blues and Bourbon Street Parade to swing standards like Woodchopper's Ball, not forgetting original compositions like Montego Bounce and timeless Finnish classics like Thou Tune Of My Mourning. We hope you enjoy listening to the CD as much as we enjoyed making it!

=======
Spirit Of New Orleans' CD Bogalusa Strut was released at the Kalott Jazz & Blues Festival in Tornio, Finland on June 29, 2002. In addition to the band's basic line-up the CD features New Orleans' great Leroy Jones on trumpet and vocals and Finnish singer Susanna Mesiä.

Bogalusa Strut contains 12 numbers: nine New Orleans jazz classics, Charlie Parker's Barbados played as Jamaican ska and two latin-influenced instrumental compositions.

The material of the CD comes from various eras: the title cut Bogalusa Strut was initially recorded already in 1927 and the Leroy Jones composition Carnival's In Town is from 1994. The interpretations aim at freshness, after all, jazz has always been a music that reflects the changing times.
