about

Mika Pohjola's renditions on "Turn Out the Stars" pay homage to the genius of Bill Evans, breathing new life into his timeless compositions. Teaming up with bassist Massimo Biolcati and drummer Mark Ferber, Pohjola delivers a spirited performance that spans a wide spectrum of musical influences. The trio's dynamic interplay navigates through intricate rhythmic complexities without losing sight of the essence of each piece.

While Pohjola explores various avenues, from electronica to contemporary classical, the heart of Evans' compositions remains most accessible in the familiar piano trio and solo acoustic piano formats. The album also features poignant solo performances on electric piano and synthesizer, culminating in the touching finale, 'For Nenette,' delivered on solo acoustic piano.

Pohjola's approach infuses these classic tunes with fresh perspectives, maintaining their integrity and character while offering an alternative take. The trio's intricate and involved playing showcases a mesmerizing dance of rhythms and polyrhythmic elements, yet they beautifully capture the simplicity and emotive depth in tracks like 'Time Remembered,' presenting it as a heartfelt ballad with expanded harmonic richness.

For die-hard Bill Evans enthusiasts seeking contemporary interpretations, 'Turn Out the Stars' is a treasure trove. These renditions honor Evans' legacy while exploring new musical territories, undoubtedly earning approval from the late maestro himself, known for his relentless pursuit of innovative musical forms. It's a must-have for those eager to experience Evans' masterpieces through a fresh, vibrant lens.
