The Big Hustle is a parisian band who has funk and electric jazz from the last decade as his main influences (Snarky puppy, Soulive, Lettuce). With a powerful and tight horn section, a rock and funky rhythm section with percussions added to it, the Big Hustle’s music has a very large variety of sound landscapes, from quiet and groovy moods to moments of furious soundblasts. Still, the music never loses the groove and always stays close to the funk. The fist LP entitled Worlwide is available in march 2016. The album features the instrumental music of the band and few songs performed by guests (Nina Attal, Melissa McMillan, Beat Assailant).

Pianist, composer, and educator Tuomo Uusitalo—born in Finland and, since 2012, a resident fixture of the New York City jazz scene - offers up something special in Love Song, his second album as leader. Special, not only because with it Uusitalo has rewritten his name into the ledger of modern jazz in flowing script, but also because he has come more maturely into his own as an improviser. For while we can still count on the virtuosity that distinguished his debut, here Uusitalo tempers that virtuosity in the furnace of life.
