Mestaritrumpetisti Tero Lindberg on säveltänyt Cold War 3.0 -teoksensa Turku Jazz Orchestralle inspiroituneena aikakautemme dramaattisista käänteistä. Ennen Venäjän hyökkäyssotaa syntyneet kappaleet ammentavat uudenlaisesta kylmästä sodasta, jossa demokratian horjuminen ja väkivaltaisten konfliktien uhka ovat jälleen arkitodellisuutta. Osa kappaleiden aiheista on fiktiivistä agenttitarinaa, kuten Moscow Mule, joka vie salaisen agenttimme villiin takaa-ajokohtaukseen Moskovan kaduille. Luvassa on elokuvallinen albumi täynnä kuumia rytmejä, viileää groovea ja tietenkin paljon korkeita ääniä!

Trumpeter Tero Lindberg and the Turku Jazz Orchestra are set to release their eagerly anticipated album in October 2023, marking the orchestra's third full-length record. This collaboration promises to be a delightful fusion of Lindberg's trumpet virtuosity and the orchestra's remarkable musical prowess, making it a must-listen for big band funk enthusiasts and music lovers alike.

The album draws inspiration from the dramatic twists of our era. This cinematic album follows a fictional agent's adventures in crisis zones across the globe, capturing the essence of a new Cold War, where disinformation, pandemics, democratic fragility, and the threat of violent conflicts are once again part of our daily reality. The music seamlessly blends various genres, from jazz to rhythmic styles, spanning from swing to rock, portraying the struggle for space between democracies and authoritarian regimes.

"The compositions for the album were written six months before Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022," Lindberg explains. "The songs became quite cinematic in my vision, and the stories may not necessarily be based on specific real events. Interestingly, reality has later eerily echoed and commented on art in a horrifying way.”
