Verneri Pohjola

Verneri Pohjola has generated a reputation as you of Finland’s leading — and busiest — jazz music artists, but music is within his blood, seeing that he’s the kid of Pekka Pohjola, among the country’s most adventurous bass players who all came old in the prog rock and roll era from the 1970s. Delivered in Helsinki, Pohjola was raised on film soundtracks and rock and roll playing “a small amount of everything” before settling mainly on trumpet within a college orchestra. His sibling presented him to jazz, which includes become his primary love. He will still play piano and drums “to fight boredom.” He’s energetic in five rings, Quintessence, the Don Johnson Big Band, Silvio, Q-Continuum, and his primary shop, the Ilmielikki Quartet, which he’s the first choice. The last of the groups came jointly in 2002 and released its initial album, March from the Alpha Men, which received a nomination for an Emma — the Finnish Grammy — as Greatest Jazz Recording in 2003. The next 12 months Pohjola was selected Pori Jazz Festival Youthful Designer, when he also received Musician of the entire year and Greatest Trumpet Player inside a poll of Finnish jazz critics. The music group has released another album, Consider It beside me. With Silvio, Pohjola offers made an appearance on Amass WHATEVER YOU Can as well as the EP Silvio, while Quintessence offers issued Talk Much less Listen Even more and 5 AM. Under his personal name he’s released Agatha.
