Finally :O a nearly forgotten gem from the 80's is available on CD:

Espoo Big Band ft. Pekka Pohjola - "Yesterday's Games"

Catalog number: PELPCD 17
...or MAR142201 for the Japanese release

It's a four part suite of music that Pohjola composed for the Espoo Big Band. Pohjola played bass guitar on the album. I don't know how many vinyl copies were made, but it's somewhat of a rarity I guess.

Each part is between 7...11 minutes. Part 2 stands out as a more calm and emotional (even beautiful) piece, whereas part 3 is very groovy and in parts silly and naive in a Pohjola-esque way.

This new CD release has a bonus track with parts 1...3 from a live concert in 1998 (without Pohjola) and - as it's jazz - it varies much from the original but remains recognisable.
