The lively mini big band Njet Njet 9 releases their colorful second album ”Dark Soul” at Tampere Jazz Happening, November 3rd. - Njet Njet 9 is an energetic nine-piece band with a cheerful touch to making music. The band's groovy debut ”Unicorn Attack” came out last year and introduced a group that can create both exploding jazz rock and delicate, soulful moods. In their second album the music is as vibrant as ever but also richer in nuances and with darker tones. ”The music sounds like Zappa and Zawinul are playing tennis with Massive Attack at a Swedish summer cottage”, band leader and composer Ville Kyttälä describes. Indeed it's music with big twists and vast landscapes. There are hints of rock, soul and electronica combined with cinematic atmospheres and genuine big band jazz. The new album is both futuristic and nostalgic finalized with instrumental dexterity and boundless joy of playing. ”Dark Soul” is released both digitally and in CD format. In December there will also be limited vinyl edition of the album. With the release of new record the skillful nonet heads out on tour that begins at Tampere Jazz Happening, November 3rd.
