DESCRIPTION
Vinyl LP pressing. Digitally remastered edition of this 1976 album from the Finnish pianist, composer and conductor. Olli Ahvenlahti has been one of Finland's leading Jazz artists since the '70s. The groove of the '70s dancefloor Jazz made an impact on the Finnish Jazz scene and the track 'Grandma's Rocking Chair' (included on THE POET) is viewed as a highlight of that era. Featured on the original pressing in 1976, the track was picked up by legendary US House producer Kenny Dope when he sampled the track for his record 'The Illout'. Since 1990, Ahvenlahti has been the Finnish conductor at the Eurovision Song Contest and worked for the Finnish radio and television company YLE.
