Eero Koivistoinen - 3rd Version

3rd Version is Eero Koivistoinen's 7th album and finds him in the company of other excellent Finnish musicians: pianist Heikki Sarmanto, guitarist Jukka Tolonen, bassist Pekka Sarmanto and drummer Reino Laine, plus American drummer Craig Herndon. Except for Tolonen, who is mostly associated with jazz-rock Fusion due to his membership in the legendary Finnish bands Tasavallan Presidentti and Wigwam, the rest of the players are all pillars of the Finnish modern Jazz scene and all are virtuosi on their respective instruments. The music could be generally categorized as fusion, but this is the European strain of Fusion, which is more focused, with every moment contributing a new vista to the music. At long last this cornerstone of the 70s Finnish jazz scene is once again made available.
