		With background like that it is amazing that Seppo Pohjola is the first full-time composer of art music in his family.
		Pohjola started his composer career as a post-serialist but has since then done a full stylistic circle with an astonishing speed.
		Pohjola's music is full of energy which often makes his rhytms quick.

		Pekka Pohjola recognizes only one source of inspiration in Finnish art: the work of painter Akseli Gallén-Kallela (1865–1931), whose beautiful and magical works in the Finnish national epic The Kalevala fascinated him already in childhood.
		Pohjola began writing music already at an early age, because "songs just started to emerge", but his formal education consists only of a few years with the violin at the Sibelius Academy.
		Pekka Pohjola has also been "moonlighting" in the ranks of XL, as the group's fine 2001 album 'Live Ballet' proves.

	Wigwam
		Both Gustavson and Pekka Pohjola (bass, violin, and yet more keyboards) are fine musicians and - if their harmonic sophistication and expert grasp of orchestration is anything to go by - classically-trained.
		Pohjola made his composing debut with the poetically downbeat instrumental "1936 Lost In The Snow", and co-wrote with Pembroke a nutty little opus entitled "Frederick And Bill", which concerns the pugilistic pre-occupations of British skin-heads.
		This latter was an impressive all-instrumental venture featuring several wind-players (including Tasavallan's Pekka Poyry) and Pohjola himself on a multiplicity of instruments over-dubbed much in the manner of Zappa, whose influence can be felt in the writing and to whom casual homage is paid (dead polite, these Finns) on Pohjola's "Hot Mice", from "Fairyport".

		Outside of Finland, Erkki Pohjola is best known as the conductor of TAPIOLA CHOIR, which developed under his charge from an ordinary secondary school choir into one of the most highly extolled vocal instruments of our time.
		Pohjola founded the choir in 1963 and led it, alongside his many other commitments, for more than thirty years.
		Erkki Pohjola is also known as the father of Finland's most widely-used school music textbook series Musica (Edition Fazer) and the artistic director of three major music festivals in Finland.

		Pekka Pohjola (born 1952) is one of the greatest electric bass players in Europe.
		Wigwam was one of the most influential Finnish bands in the Seventies, and apart from being quite succesful in Scandinavia they later became a cult band in England even before being signed by Virgin Records.
		Pohjola is a strong composer and arranger, and this is one of his best works.

		The decision by Gustavson and subsequently Pohjola to leave the band had been taken months before the concerts and the band felt that they owed it to their faithful audience to undertake one last tour whioch could also be recorded and released as a live album.
		The loss of Jukka Gustavson and Pekka Pohjola allowed Jim Pembroke to grab a firm hold over the band reins with the music on this album being considerably different from much of their previous work, most notably their previous studio album, Being.
		Listening to his solid playing, one realises that he is a relatively undiscovered gem in progressive drummer territory being able to fill in complex rolls and rhythms and at the same time maintain a solid backbeat to the music that was very often overshadowed by the virtuosistic performances of the other musicians.

	PEKKA POHJOLA discography, MP3 and reviews
		Pekka POJHOLA (born 1952) is without doubt one of the greatest bassist/multi-instrumentalist in Europe.
		In 1977, he formed The GROUP and in 1979, he toured with Mike OLDFIELD, who is an admirer of this bass-player.
		In 1980, The GROUP changed its name to PEKKA POHJOLA GROUP, but along the way the word "GROUP" is dropped, so the band played on as Pekka POHJOLA.

	Recording review: Pekka Pohjola (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The transcendent electric bassist from Finland has been making records for two plus decades now and this 1997 release shows how good he has gotten at it.
		Not just a fine bass player, Pohjola also composes and here, his eight original selections reflect basis and drama in an episodic, solidly played, electric/acoustic chamber-rock style.
		Here Pohjola has penned one unforgettable melody, sublimely logical and taut, and worked it over in variation until it issues like some overlooked nugget by an accomplished classical composer.

	CD Reviews - Reissues
		In the process Pohjola came up with an album that is still considered a major turning point in the development of neoclassical jazz-rock fusion.
		A master melodicist, electric bassist and keyboardist, Pohjola scaled new heights with Keesojen Lehto —fully developing ideas that were initially suggested on his first two brilliant solo albums— Pihkasilmä Kaarnakorva (1973) and B The Magpie (his first Virgin Records UK release from 1975).
		As great as those two albums are, on Mathematician’s Air Display Pekka achieved something truly remarkable and in the process influenced a whole new age of music lovers and musicians alike—including guitarist Oldfield, who gradually moved away from his New Age Tubular Bells stylings towards a bolder rock-inspired style of music.

	Records with Involvement by Pekka Pohjola (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Pohjola plays on all ten tracks, which include r&b standard "Turn on your lovelight", oldtime countryclassic "Will the circle be unbroken", and quite unexpectedly, one Pohjola-original, instrumental "Elämä jatkuu" ("life goes on"), which is originally on his "Harakka..." album.
		Pohjola´s arrangements are very understanding, based on half a dozen woodwinds and few strings with rhythm section consisting of piano, bass, drums and percussion.
		Pohjola joined this theater/comedy/musicgroup as a "regular assistant" for a short period, playing on these two albums, and playing also live gigs at least during one summer.

		Pekka Pohjola is a Finnish-born jazz/prog-rock/fusion bassist who has been performing since the 1970's.
		Although Shadow is one of the most adept DJs at work in the art of sampling, he owes a lot to the initial quality of the songs he chooses to sample.
		The highlight and most accessible track on Endtroducing is " Midnight in a Perfect World " and this is due in no small part to one of the songs which is sampled, Pekka Pohjola's " The Madness Subsides," from Pekka's 1975 release B the Magpie.

	Welcome to The Official Mike Oldfield Information Service
		If there is one subject likely to fuel the imagination of Oldfield fans, then the major talking point of the year was the release of an LP that, even today, is still really quite puzzling.
		In the UK this LP was titled Mathematicians Air Display (V2084) and credited to Pekka Pohjola.
		Pekka is best remembered as the Finnish bassist used during the early live renditions of Tubular Bells and at first glance it appears that Mike was involved in its recording and production at his Througham studio.

		Back in the mid ‘70s, Pohjola just about single-handedly invented what came to be known as Finnish progressive symphonic rock.
		The first pop vocal track featured on a Pohjola disc since the early ‘80s, the song features a few hot vocalists singing the original lyrics (in english) taken from a poem written (and reprinted here) by Charles Bukowski.
		It might not be the album you expected from Pekka (well, what is?), but the music is (still) so good, you just can’t help but enjoy it.

		Named for the Ballstaan River crossing through Sundbyberg, a suburb north of Stockholm where the recording was made (and pictured on the cover), BELSTA RIVER is an enjoyable, often engaging session with a pleasant back-to-basics feel.
		Likewise, "First Tune In The Morning" adds a twist of dark funk (courtesy of Pohjola) to the mysterious Eastern influence of the earlier "Lady Gabor." It is a mesmerizing concoction wherein Szabo, Schaffer and Gulgowski's keyboards stir a lavish, infectious brew.
		Gulgowski and Pohjola are outstanding additions and contribute notably here through a high level of musicianship and an apparent ability to easily slip into Szabo's universe.
