Their initial spark came from the local and national folk music boom in the 80s, particularly the phenomenal national success of Kaustinen fiddler/composer Konsta Jylhä, and their distinctive skills at composing and arranging immediately emerged, forming the basis for their style, appeal and future career.
JPP members have experience and training in musical genres outside folk music, for example classical and jazz, therefore expanding the scope of their music far wider than ordinary fiddle groups.
Their latest studio album Artology exhibits the brilliant composing and arranging skills of chief writer Arto Järvelä while simultaneously sending the listener on an exciting melodic journey through the heart of Ostrobothnian fiddle country and JPP's own imagination, featuring plenty of unexpected twists and turns.

 Snekka: MOT Sing Out! The Folk Song Magazine - Find Articles

(Snekka was the 2004 Kaustinen Folk Music Festival's "Ensemble of the Year.") I think one of the things that attracts me to Finnish music is the lyrical, almost theatrical, approach to the instru-mentals, and the 12 pieces here make my case, running a broad emotional gamut, sometimes playful, sometimes dark, but always interesting and striking.
As mentioned above, Ville's fiddle is a key component in the Kaustinen ensemble Troka, a group that merges the approach taken by regional heroes JPP as well as Maria Kalaniemi's brilliant ensemble Aldargaz.
