What a terrible year. Esbjörn Svensson, Rick Wright, Pekka Pohjola...
I'm struggling to find the right words. To me, he was a genius - a word I don't use very lightly. RIP, Pekka. |

Oh no! This comes as a complete shock to me! For three decades, 'Pekka Pohjola' has been a magic name to me: I've loved THE MATHEMATICIAN'S AIR DISPLAY ever since it was released, but I've only just started exploring Wigwam...
In his music he lives on! |

This is tragic news, and 56 is way too young!
Rest in Peace, Pekka!

One of the best bass players and composers of prog rock, Pekka Pohjola has died at 56.
Pohjola was an influential member of Wigwam and Mike Oldfield's group but is best known and most appreciated for his solo albums of the 1970's. This is a sad loss.
