The recording session featured three finnish guys from the acclaimed Five Corners Quintet, we\u2019re talking about Teppo M\u00e4kynen, Jukka Eskola and Timo Lassy who delivered great sounds and vibes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BUY from JUNO Records Review: This single introduces the forthcoming album (available in September) by Andrea Balducci called \u201cBloom\u201d.
