{"product_id":"bullhorn","title":"Bullhorn","description":"\u003cp\u003eBullhorn is the new album by Finnish trumpeter\/composer, Verneri Pohjola, his third as leader. Based in Helsinki, the thirty-six year old has been in the international spotlight for the past few years and is acknowledged as a jazz star in the making. His distinctive tone, with its deeply affecting purity and lyricism, and highly melodic improvising is embedded in self-penned compositions marked by memorable and imaginative themes that steer clear of any hackneyed notion of Nordic jazz.  Bullhorn is a key album in Pohjolas career, marking the shift from a rising start to an artist of real substance with a powerful, unique sound and a sense of deepening maturity and clarity of vision. Bullhorn is the album that finally realises Verneris enormous creative potential.  Featuring his long term associates and friends: pianist Aki Rissanen, bassist Antti Ltjnen and drummer Teppo Mkynen, Bullhorn undertakes a panoramic overview of Verneris wide-ranging, evocative yet energetic approach to music-making, anchored in his strong, personal sound.  As Pohjola explains: \"It has the intimate sounds and lyricism in improvised passages that I love, but also the rough energy and emphasis on the compositions - everything I want to express in my music\".\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Edition Records","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50901178777931,"sku":"2017495","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_0970295d_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1732756635","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/bullhorn","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
