Description
â€˜Pekkaâ€™ is the new, epochal album in Finnish trumpeter/composer Verneri Pohjolaâ€™s already illustrious and prolific career. An album that promises to be a defining moment in Finnish culture, Pekka reinterprets the music of Verneriâ€™s late father Pekka Pohjola, the internationally acclaimed and revered prog-rock bassist and composer, through the prism of his sonâ€™s unique vision. Due for release worldwide on 2 June 2017, Pekka is one of the most anticipated albums to emerge from the Finnish progressive, rock and jazz scenes for some time. Seeking to combine Pekkaâ€™s music, adored in Finland and internationally during the last four decades, with Verneriâ€™s powerful sense of music making, â€˜Pekkaâ€™ is an album that will excite, inspire and move many fans across borders, generations and genres. Approaching his 40th birthday, Verneri is in his musical prime. With an undeniably unique trumpet sound and a gift for blending raw emotion, technical finesse and control and with an ear adept at finding the middle way between accessibility and the avant-garde, he has developed an impressive profile in his home country and internationally as a leading European jazz performer, bandleader and composer.
