His passport says Kari Heinila, but the local jazz circles know this
saxophonist by his nickname Sonny. Although the implication is clear,
this musician is much more than just a carbon copy of a legend.
Heinila's interest in music began at an early age, but saxophone was
only his third choice of instrument after piano and trumpet. When the
reeds finally weaved their magic over Kari, he was eleven years old.
Eight years later he had enrolled at the Sibelius Academy and was on
his way to bigger things.
And as in so many other local cases, Heinila's route led through big
bands; first the Pori Big Band, then the Espoo Big Band and then the
"college of local big band musicians", the UMO.
Heinila joined the ranks of the UMO in 1988 and stayed for seven
years. During that time he had the perfect opportunity to learn from
all the international stars that came to play with the group. Big band
assignments aside Sonny was seen on stages with ensembles led by Seppo
Kantonen, Jarmo Savolainen and Severi Pyysalo. In 1987 he appeared on
the Edward Vesala Sound & Fury album "Lumi".
In the 90's Heinila began to seriously widen his scope outside playing
in and arranging for big bands. He started teaching at the jazz
department of the Sibelius Academy and arranged a series of six
evergreens for a chamber ensemble and his sax colleague Jukka Perko.
Sonny has a Finnish sound
The biggest impact of recent years has, however, come with Heinila's
own tunes and his own groups. In 1995 Heinila received a FIM 30,000
prize given by the BAT Finland. Next year he performed a triumphant
concert with Markku Ounaskari and Anders Jormin at the Sibelius
Academy.
Jukka Hauru, acclaimed jazz critic for Finland's biggest daily
newspaper Helsingin Sanomat, was astounded by the group's balanced and
controlled free jazz. He went on to laud Heinila's tunes and compare
him to the all-time great of jazz sax in Finland, Juhani Aaltonen.
As Heinila's gorgeous album "Tribus" (1999) proves, this comparison
was not far-fetched or lofty in the least. Easily one of the top free
jazz ûbased albums to come out of Finland in recent years, this disc
is a fantastic amalgamation of heart-rending themes with a distinctly
Nordic attitude and more-than-wonderful musicianship from Heinila,
Jormin and Ounaskari.
As a sideman, the sax specialist made a noteworthy appearance on Kari
Ikonen's "Karikko" in 2001, the year he was also decorated with the
Georgie Award for his efforts in the frontline of Finnish jazz.
