Dancing has been the commercial and social engine powering music for generations. Music-makers often subordinate their creative instincts to the search for "floor-fillers": dancers pay the bills. But who would have expected the rebirth of "jazz dance", based on vinyl LPs from the mid-1950s and early 1960s). Producers occasionally attempt to recreate this era's hard bop and Latin jazz, and one of the better examples is Chasin' the Jazz Gone By by the Finnish Five Corners Jazz Quintet, which actually involves more than a dozen musicians, plus a bit of sampling and looping.

On stage to promote next week's album release, the five members of the Five Corners Quintet are alarmingly young and Nordic, with sharp suits and ties - the look a casting director might devise for a Helsinki remake of The Sweet Smell of Success. But when they play it sounds great - the players have internalised these historical styles so that they can have fun with them.

The tunes may remind you of classics such as Moanin' or The Sidewinder, but they stop short of becoming movie-like pastiche thanks to the verve of the band. Saxophonist Timo Lassy has a "storytelling" approach to solos that lifts numbers such as Blueprint and Straight Up; energetic drummer Teppo Makynen adds detail to the dance pulse; Mikael Jakobsson adds neat piano parts and solos that are guitar-like in their simplicity, while his unisons with bassist Antti Lotjonen are crucial to defining the Five Corners sound: the repetitive riffs on Blueprint and Trading Eights are as deep and hooky as anything in dub or techno.

Okou comes on stage to sing three numbers. After a weak start she sails soulfully over an ingenious retro-jazz rethink of People Make the World Go Round, the perfect launch pad for a flugel solo from dashing trumpeter Jukka Eskola, the star of this thoroughly enjoyable young band.
