TANEL RUBEN QUINTET feat. KADRI VOORAND & KRISTJAN RANDALU

Tanel Ruben Quintet first came together in autumn 2006. It has become a tradition for the ensemble to always premiere their new programmes on the stage of Jazzkaar. With a line-up of award-winning jazz musicians, the quintet has previously released two albums: Kogutud rikkus (Collected Riches) and Nõiutud veerandtunnid (Enchanted Hours). This time they will present a brand new programme Kas tahad ma jutustan laulust (Would you like me to tell you abut a song).

Tanel Ruben has become one of Estonia’s most influential and famous jazz drummers known as an extremely active and versatile musician. He is the creative leader of numerous projects and also actively participates in projects and ensembles called into existence by other musicians in Estonia and elsewhere. The forcefully lyrical repertoire of the Tanel Rubeni Quintet is the result of the creative collaboration between Tanel Ruben ja Kadri Voorand. As Ruben has always also been interested in electronic music, we can hear an interesting fusion of acoustic and electronic music, mainstream and non-mainstream, jazz and non-jazz, connected into a single whole by his specific way of composing and the strongly unique sound of the quintet.
