[Video] Verneri Pohjola – Live at Porin Teatteri – Pori Jazz Festival 2012

I had posted a video by legendary Finnish jazz-prog bassist Pekka Pohjola recently. While doing my usual stumble across social media, I came across another Pohjola, this one being Verneri. As it turns out, Verneri is the son of the late bassist, and is a fine trumpet player in his own right. Look for big things out of this man in the future.
Look for his latest release, Bullhorn, over at his Bandcamp site.

I didn’t expect to find this charming bit of Finnish folk in my inbox today, but here is Köyhät Ritarit with some soothing new music.

Pekka Pohjola first gained fame as bassist for the legendary Finnish prog rock band Wigwam, and then did some work recording for Mike Oldfield. His solo work brought together his love of jazz and fusion in a prog rock setting.
