Greetings,
Verneri Pohjola--trumpeter, composer, and son of the late great bassist/composer Pekka Pohjola--just released an album of his father's compositions, in significantly reinterpreted (and jazzier) form. As a pre-sale purchaser on Bandcamp, I was able to download the (24-bit/44.1k) FLAC files this morning and gave the album a thorough first listen this morning--and have to say that, in addition to being quite wonderful all the way through, I'd really consider it a must for any serious fan/collector of Pekka Pohjola's music. The album, simply entitled Pekka, can be streamed and/or purchased (in digital form or on CD) here:

Those already familiar with Verneri's style, along with his attention to sonic detail, should be particularly thrilled with the release. In any case, I definitely encourage giving the album a listen--especially if you're a big fan of Pekka's music (as I am).
Best wishes and have a great weekend,
Alan
