✨✧ Jukka TolonenPassenger To Paramaribo ... CD
Love (Finland), 1977. Used ... Out Of Stock
Hard-jamming fusion from Jukka Tolonen – one of the heaviest guitar players in Europe back in the 70s, working here with a crack ensemble that cuts the groove with every number! Tracks are very much in the best Euro funky fusion mode – lots of full on solos on guitar, but still enough in the rhythm section to keep things from getting too sloppy. Instrumentation includes percussion from Bill Carson, keyboards from Esa Kotilanien, saxes from Chister Eklund, and guitar and piano from Jukka – and there's more than enough here to please you if you're a fan of funky fusion! Titles include "Punks", "Air Rock", "Dimitri", "Passenger To Paramaribo", and "What Went Wrong". CD

✨✧ Jukka TolonenTolonen ... CD
Love (Finland), 1971. Used ... Out Of Stock
Heavy jamming fusion from Finnish guitarist Jukka Tolonen – long tracks with mostly that hard full-on sound that European players were pretty big on at the time, touched with a few lighter tracks that have a more spacious approach! The album was Tolonen's first as a leader, and it's a really strong debut that got him a fair bit of attention – even on this side of the Atlantic – and although later efforts never crossed over as big outside his native Finland, there's a real promise here, and a sound that's tight without being smooth or slick – a mode that should have made Tolonen one of the guitar jazz heroes of the 70s. Jukka's got a pretty rhythmic sound overall – keeping things choppy, although not necessarily that funky – and jamming with instrumentation that includes soprano sax, bass, and drums. Titles include "Mountains", "Wanderland", "Last Night", "Ramblin", and "Elements – Earth Fire Water Air". CD

✨✧ Jukka TolonenSummer Games ... CD
Love (Finland), 1973. Used ... Out Of Stock
A beautiful blend of progressive jazz and folk styles – one of the mellower albums from 70s Finnish guitarist Jukka Tolonen, but a great little set nonetheless! The album's got a warmly organic quality that puts it firmly in the context of some of the Brazilian/fusion experiments from the US scene of the early 70s – not as all-out jamming as some of those, but with a similar use of earthy percussion and acoustic instrumentation – and a real love of long, spun-out tracks are filled with color and a real sense of joy. Jukka plays acoustic and electric guitar, tabla, mini moog, and piano – and other instrumentation includes trombone, flute, and soprano sax – the latter two of which glide really nicely over the tunes! Titles include "Impressions Of India", "Summer Games", "See You", "Wedding Song", and "A Warm Trip With Taija". CD

✨✧ Jukka Tolonen/KOM QuartetJazz Liisa 3 & 4 – Live In Studio 1973/1975 ... CD
Svart (Finland), 1973/1975. Used ... Out Of Stock
Two great radio sessions from early 70s Finland – both of which present the extremely creative jazz sounds going on in that scene at the time! First up are the Jukka Tolonen Ramblin Jazz Band – a group who might sound trad or old-timey from their name, but who have a very freewheeling approach to their music – showcased here on two very long songs! The music features both acoustic and electric guitar from Tolonen – a player you might know from his famous sessions for the Love Records label – and although the group also features bass and violin, the strings are balanced out by very strong horn performances – by Mike Koskinen on trumpet and Pekka Poyry on flute, alto, and soprano sax! These instruments bring in some bolder colors, and give the music a rich tonal quality – and the group also draws a lot from the two drummer/percussionists, Reino Laine and Ronnie Osterberg. Titles include the lovely "Warm Trip With Taija", and the more jamming "Ramblin". Next up are the Kom Quartet – a heady group from the Finnish scene of the 70s – one who've got a political bent in their lyrics, and a fiercely fusion sound in their instrumentation! The tunes all feature lyrics originally written in Swedish by Claes Andersson, but translated into Finnish by the group – and sung by Eija Orpana, a female singer with a freewheeling vibe that almost reminds us of Norma Winstone at times – especially in her ability to slide into the group's electric piano, bass, and guitar lines – which are plenty jamming at some points, in a very rock fusion mode! Titles include "Varo Niita", "Interviewed", "Ala Tuhlaa Aikaa", and "Mita Sina Sanotkaan". CD

✨✧ Tasavallan Presidentti/Jukka Hauru & SuperkingsPop Liisa 1 & 2 – 1973 ... CD
Svart (Finland), 1973. Used ... Out Of Stock
Two sets of live recordings from the archive of Finnish Broadcasting – issued here for the first time ever! First up is Tasavallan Presidentti – a finnish prog group from the 70s, but one who've got plenty of fusion in their approach, too – given that both tracks here are quite long, and feature lots of jazzy solo work in the middle! The group features these very weird vocals from Eero Raittinen – a singer with a tone like nobody else we can recall, maybe made even more unusual by his Finnish lyrics – and instrumental support is very strong, and comes from the quartet of Jukka Tolonen on guitar, Pekka Poyry on reeds and piano, Heikki Virtanen on bass, and Vesa Aaltonen on drums. Poyry's range of instrumentation is great – from alto, to soprano, flute, piano, and electric piano – and titles include the vocal number "Lennosta Kii" and the instrumental "Dance". Jukka Hauru is a Finnish guitarist with a hell of a lot of flair – and he's working here in sharp fusion formation with the mighty Olli Ahvenlahti on Fender Rhodes! The set's pulled from the vaults of Finnish Broadcasting, and features a bold batch of electric lines with a jamming approach to fusion – violin from Juhani Poutanen, congas and percussion from Reino Laine, drums from Vesa Aaltonen, bass from Heikki Virtanen – and lots of great solos from Hauru and Ahvenlahti – soaring out here in all-instrumental formation on the tracks "Mai Ling", "Elegy Elegio", "Twilight Time", and "Angel".

Eero KoivistoinenFor Children ... CD
Otava/Svart (Finland), 1970. New Copy ... $16.99 23.99
Wonderfully tripped-out work from Finnish tenor giant Eero Koivistoinen – the first album recorded with his legendary Music Society group, and a strong departure from his straight jazz debut! The group here is expanded from before – with guitar from both Jukka Tolonen and Attilla Berger, plus three different keyboardists who work on piano and electric piano – often used in a slightly elliptical way to add a sense of spaciness to the tunes. Eero's still very firmly in the lead on tenor and soprano sax – and other players include Mike Koskinen on trumpet, Pekka Sarmanto on bass, and Esko Rosnell on drums – the latter two of whom provide a good pulse on the more upbeat numbers. Eero composed the entire record, and the tunes are a mixture of gentler soundpieces and others that groove a bit more – including his legendary "Boots & Roots", presented here with a lesser-known second part, "Roots & Boots"! Other tracks include "Five Blue Tones", "Bitter Sweet", "Folk Song", the 3-part suite "For Children". CD

Tasavallan PresidenttiLost 1971 Studio Session ... CD
Svart (Finland), 1971. New Copy ... $16.99 18.99
Very early work from this legendary Finnish jazz rock combo of the 70s – a set recorded before their classic albums to come, issued here for the very first time – and a tremendous demonstration of their powers right from the start! Tracks are nice and long, and bristle with this unbridled energy that has the group effortlessly mixing up proggish rhythms and more jazz-inspired solo work – with a lineup that includes the great Jukka Tolonen on guitar and a bit of piano, Pekky Poyry on flute and alto, and a bit of organ – plus Vesa Aaltonen on drums and Mans Groundstroem on bass. The set is mostly instrumental, but vocalist Frank Robson joins them for part of "Falling Deeper" – and other titles include "Impressions Of India", "Hills & Dales", and "Celebration Of The Saved Nine/After Celebration".

WigwamTombstone Valentine ... LP
Love/Svart (Finland), 1970. New Copy (reissue)... $26.99 28.99 About February 20, 2025
A fantastic set from Wigwam – a record that even tops their first album on Love – with production from Kim Fowley that helps to give the proceedings a much more international vibe! Lyrics are all in English this time around, and the tunes have this short, focused quality that often has the vocals resonating strongly with organ or piano – save for a few tunes that really let the guest guitar from Jukka Tolonen stretch out and get some room to solo! The vocals of Jim Pembroke also add in some strong tunefulness to the record – although we also love the instrumental tracks on the set too – including the completely wonderful "1936 Lost In The Snow" and "For America". Other titles include "Captain Supernatural", "Tombstone Valentine", "In Gratitude", "Dance Of The Anthropoids", "Frederick & Bill", "Autograph", and "End". LP, Vinyl record album

✨✧ Tasavallan PresidenttiLive In Lambert Land ... CD
Svart (Finland), 1972. Used ... Out Of Stock
A never-issued live set from this fantastic Finnish prog combo – recorded around the same time as their classic Lambert Land album, and featuring many songs from that record – but served up here in a long-jamming style that really takes off with lots of improvisation on the solos! The group were always as much about jazz fusion as they were about rock – and you can definitely hear that hear on the long guitar solos from the great Jukka Tolonen, and the always-great, always-varied work by Pekka Poyry on soprano, tenor, flute, and even a bit of organ! Eero Raittinen sings, when he gets a chance – and the whole thing is driven up from the bottom beautifully by the bass of Mans Groundstroem and drums of Vesa Aaltonen. Titles include "Lambertland", "Celebration Of The Saved Nine", "Dance", "Ramblin", "The Bargain", "Lounge", and "Celebration Of The Saved Nine/The Bargain". CD

✨✧ Tasavallan PresidenttiMilky Way Moses ... CD
Love (Finland), 1974. Used ... Out Of Stock
You may not be able to pronounce the name of Tasavallan Presidentti easily – but man, they're one heck of a group – a key combo from the Finnish scene of the 70s, and one that effortlessly blends together jazz and rock modes, but with a sound that's very different than most other music of its type at the time! At the core, these guys are tremendous musicians – a lineup with the great Jukka Tolonen on guitars and keyboards, and Pekka Poyry on saxes and flute – both players whose dexterity is balanced nicely by some rhythms that move between funky passages and more freewheeling moments – all topped with great vocals from Eero Raittinen, who's got this fluid way of moving with the groove! Titles include "Confusing The Issue", "How To Start A Day", "Piece Of Mind", "Jelly", and "Caught From The Air". CD

Svart (Finland), 1973. Used ... Out Of Stock
A full length set of live recordings done by the legendary Finnish prog band Tasavallan Presidentti in Sweden – material from a few different performances that were all captured live for Swedish radio, all with really great sound! The material appears here for the first time ever, and the length of the tracks is a stunning demonstration of the impeccable musicianship of the group – lots of searing guitar solos from Jukka Tolonen, and a range of saxes, flute, and electric piano lines from Pekka Poyry – an artist you might know from his fusion work too! Pekka delivers a bit of vocalese, but the main vocals are handled by Eero Raittenen – and the rest of the quintet features Heikki Virtanen on bass and Vesa Aaltonen on drums. Titles include a 19 minute take on "Ramblin", a 21 minute version of "Dance", and the 14 minute "Celebration Of The Saved Nine/Bargain" – plus the cuts "Milky Way Moses", "Lounge", and "Lambertland".

✨✧ Tasavallan PresidenttiTasavallan Presidentti (with bonus tracks) ... CD
Love/Svart (Finland), 1969. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
The monumental first album from Finnish legends Tasavallan Presidentti – a hell of a group, and one that was equal parts jazz and prog – and maybe one of the few who got the blend just right! The lineup is filled with some really heavyweight instrumentation – most famously from guitarist Jukka Tolonen, one of the best Scandinavian players of the time, and an artist who rose to global success – and the group also features work from Juhani Aaltonen on soprano, tenor, and flute – an artist who had equally well-respected chops in the jazz world too! The group also features lots of organ lines and bass from Mans Groundstroem, heavy drums from Vesa Aaltonen, and vocals from Frank Robson – a good singer, but one who maybe takes second place next to the guitar and reeds! Titles include "Crazy Thing Nr 2", "You'll Be Back For More", "Who's Free", "Drinking", "Driving Through", "Wutu Banale", and "Roll Over Yourself". CD features bonus 7" single tracks – "Time Alone With You", "Deep Thinker", "Solitary", and "Obsolete Machine". CD

A hell of a second set from Tasavallan Presidentti – one of the coolest groups in Finland at the start of the 70s, and a combo that shows just how closely that scene's prog and jazz worlds were tied together at the time! The music is equal parts rock and jazz, but with a freewheeling vibe that maybe even beats some of the bigger, better-known jazz rock acts of the UK – as Tasavallan Presidentti really knock it out of the park with work on guitar from the mighty Jukka Tolonen, and searing alto, soprano, and tenor solos from Pekka Poyry – both artists you'll know from other jazz recordings too. The rhythms are tremendous – Mans Groundstroem on bass and Vesa Aaltonen on drums – and Frank Robson handles vocals with a nice raspy touch, always in English. Titles include "Tell Me More", "Deep Thinker", "Introduction", "Struggling For Freedom", "Weather Brightly", and "Sinking". CD

Maybe the crowning achievement for legendary Finnish prog group Tasavallan Presidentti – a set that really has things coming together in ways that would separate the group apart from the rest – in a record that's almost all composed by Jukka Tolonen, the legendary guitarist in the group! The tunes have maybe even more of an instrumental focus than before – although new singer Eero Raittinen gets his share of space on the set – and reedman Pekka Poyry is really on fire on a variety of saxes and flute, chopping out these amazing lines that effortlessly blend jazz fusion and prog rock energy. Titles include "Lounge", "Lambertland", "Dance", "The Bargain", "Last Quarters", and "Celebration Of The Saved Nine". CD features the bonus tracks from a single – "Sisaltani Portin Loysin" and "Selva Nakija". CD
