On 15.08.23, we recorded another jazz album by the Tõnu Naissoo trio at the Eller Music School in Tartu, which will be called Midnight Breeze. The following musicians performed: piano – Tõnu Naissoo, double bass – Taavo Remmel, drums – Kristjan Mängel. Sound engineers were Priit Kuulberg and Aular Soon.
It is known that this was the first DSD format jazz music recording in Estonia.
Fans can download the new record already in September, the vinyl will be released in November.

On June 14, we recorded the organ of St. Paul’s Church. The organist was Aare-Paul Lattik, who performed works by French composers. The recording format was DSD256, which we use to release a vinyl record. This is the third edition of the Estonian Organs series, which will be published in November this year
Album presentation in St. Nicholas Church
On 14.04.2023, the presentation of the second vinyl record in the series – the organ of the Niguliste church, which is part of the “Estonian organs” series, took place in the Niguliste museum.
The CD features Andres Uibo’s work from the series: ”Apocalyptic Symphony”. In addition to the vinyl record, there is an 8-page booklet hidden in the record sleeve, which describes the attractions and history of the museum.
An impressive group of friends who loved organ music had come to the album launch. Tarmo Saaret, the director of the museum, Priit Kuulberg, the sound director, and Endel Apsalon, the author of the album’s design photos, gave speeches. Andres Uibo let the organ sound on the profound piece ”Uus Jeruusalem”.
Those who wished could buy records with autographs, and the production company APSoon OÜ made a preliminary agreement with some well-known guests for new recordings to take place. St. John and Charles Church in Tallinn and St. Paul’s Church in Tartu are waiting in line. According to the current plans, two more records of the “Eesti Orelid” series should be released this year. Which ones are currently still a mystery.
The pianist and composer Tõnu Naissoo is one of the living legends of Estonian jazz. Throughout his impressive musical journey of 55 years, his preferred format has been the piano trio. With this lineup, he recorded his debut album, Tõnu Naissoo Trio (1968), now a favourite among collectors. In 1980, the trio recorded his next LP, its title Turning Point referring to an altered cast as well as new ventures in music. With one exception (Ornette Coleman’s Lonely Woman), the pieces on the album are Naissoo’s own compositions from 1977–1980, ranging from intimate ballads to post-bop characterised by intense rhythmics and intertwined ensemble play. Fresh colour is added by the Rhodes electric piano enriching and modernising the sound, and by experiments with the lineup.
