Recently, Svert has released a swathe of Olli Ahvenlahti reissues, giving a new generation of listeners a chance to get acquainted with the Finnish jazz great's best work. The Poet was originally recorded and released in 1976, and saw pianist Ahvelahti collaborate with a wide range of musicians on a set that looked to the U.S jazz-fusion and jazz-funk scenes for inspiration. It's perhaps most famous for the break-digger's favoruite "Grandma's Rocking Chair" - famously turned into a 16-minute percussion epic by Kenny Dope back in 2001 - but there's plenty of other highlights to enjoy. The smooth "Aura", which sounds a little like Bob James jamming with Azymouth, is particularly potent.
