I started listening to him only a couple of days ago. Not only creepy but sad. RIP

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

Ah sh*t, not Esbjörn Svensson!! I did not know about him. I guess I should stay in the loop. I got to see him play in Austin in 2000 and he sold me his last copy of "From Gagarin's Point of View" that night. And of course Pekka too - perhaps someone can recommend some of his best that I might seek out to appreciate. |

This is really, really sad news. In fact, I had just found a couple of hard to get CD's of Pekka's, and was so admiring his wonderful blend of composition, performance.
Does anyone know what he died of? I am friends with Jim Pembroke, and will try and found out any details. Another, hidden gem passes to the next moment. Long live Pekka Pohjola! |

Of course it's all guessing, but throughout his last years, he had some hard times with the King Alc.... In the meantime, just take a look at/listen to his solo in this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wlbMKqlMPU Pekka at his best as a bass player. What a fantastic musician. So sad that belongs to the past now. |
