Eero Koivistoinen, who prior to this album had only recorded jazz acoustically, had been listening to some of the heavier fusion coming out of America and decided to create, and experiment in, sound using electric instruments. This was to include electric soprano sax, two basses and two drummers to establish what can be heard as a rock solid funky sound bed from which Koivistoinen sears through on his flame-thrower like sax. Known only to collectors (the original Lp issue was only 600 copies!) Wahoo! has been recently changing hands for up to $500 each. In March 2000 Whatmusic.com made the trip out to Finland to accompany the re-mastering process and to interview Koivistoinen at his home. "...This intoxicating slab of post-Bitches Brew electric jazz ...fronted by Eero Koivistoinen remained unknown outside of collectors' circles for years. No doubt he was the first to embrace the electric zeitgeist there (Finland) as he straps a wah wah pedal and Varitone unit to his amplified soprano sax to spearhead this 13 piece ensemble through a blistering series of electric Miles, early Weather Report and Zappa influenced pieces of surprising depth and power. Driven by 2 drummers and 2 bassists Koivistoinen uses his 4 piece horn section, keyboardist, 2 guitarists and percussionists Sabu and Edward Vesala to create a huge churning ball of sound, rich in period flavours of fuzz bass, distorted Fender Rhodes and growling wah wah guitars, yet buoyant enough to shift into the atmospheric ECM - like soundscapes of "Bells" and the shimmering centrepiece, "Suite 19". The pulsing funky vamp of the opener "Hot C" takes mere minutes to start blowing fuses revealing a McLaughlin - like sting in the tail from guitarist Matti Kurkinen, who tragically died shortly after these sessions, while the title track is a Zawinul type exercise in vertically stacked solos over a warped soulful melody. Self composed and robustly arranged throughout, Koivistoinen displays remarkable solo vigour, driving forward from long nagging lines to scatter-gun semi-free bursts as the tension mounts, always at the centre, always pushing out." - Jon Newey - Jazzwise (UK) February 2001
