Release comments.:
It started out as a three-person project in a Helsinki
basement-studio. Guitarist Aki Haarala and DJ/Programmer
Jouni Helminen (nowadays known worldwide as DharmaOne) asked
vocalist Emma Salokoski to sing on a couple of tunes.
In 2001 the first "White Light" EP was released on the Dorado
label. It could soon be found on the playlists of Dj's such as
Gilles Peterson and Trevor Nelson. For live gigs the band was
extended to a six-piece. After a relatively short search-period
the right people were found (Mikko Kaakkuriniemi, drums;
Heikki Laine, Bass; Verneri Pohjola, Trumpet and
Tuomo PrΣttΣlΣ, keys). The band developed such a distinctive
and strong groove, that beat-guru DharmaOne decided to step
aside, leaving room for a more organic sound.
In November 2002 Quintessence released it's full-length debut
"Talk Less Listen More" on Finland's hippest indie-label,
Texicalli records. Their unique mixture of (nu)soul, jazz, funk
and Scandinavian cool found it's way into the hearts, ears
and record collections of music lovers and critics alike.
Through extensive touring, their fan base has grown even
stronger, as Quintessence is now known as one of Finland's
coolest, yet grooviest live bands. In addition to clubs they
have performed at numerous rock and jazz festivals. They opened
for The Roots on the main stage of Finland's biggest
jazz festival, Pori Jazz, in 2003. They have also played gigs in
Estonia, Norway and the Netherlands.
Early 2005 the album "Talk Less Listen More" will finally be
released in Britain (and some twenty other countries) through
the prestigious Whatmusic label.
Meanwhile, in Finland, Quintessence has just come out with
their second album "5 am". This instant classic takes the
Quintessence-formula to a new level of deepness, adding sweet
soul sounds of the seventies and echoes of pulsating afro-beat.
The album is released on Texicalli's new sub-label,
the already-legendary Jupiter. Four years after it's birth,
Quintessence is more Quintessential than ever!
