about

The unreleased instrumental, “On the Road of Memories” (tr.), is just as enigmatic as Raivo Tammik, the composer behind it. The talented pianist, songwriter and organizer co-founded the Tallinn Jazz Club in 1966. Rarely could someone tour outside Soviet Estonia as much as he did. With the collection amassed during his trips, local radio hosts borrowed his records for shows. KGB pressured Tammik to become an informant. After refusing, Raivo got tipped that a case against him is being fabricated. In 1975, he fled to Germany with his wife, singer Kristi Tammik. Recorded a year before escaping, the hereby track sounds like an ode to memories of Estonia. The sentimentality shares space with a hurried rhythm, perhaps symbolizing the escape hatched out by the time. The last record of Raivo is a radio interview in 1990, his current whereabouts remain unknown...
