Album Notes & Community Reviews
Released internationally under several different titles (including 'B The Magpie'), Finnish bassist Pekka Pohjola's sophomore album is a masterpiece of European jazz-fusion and progressive rock. The entirely instrumental record incorporates dense, Frank Zappa-esque brass arrangements and playful, complex orchestrations heavily inspired by Sibelius.
