JPP

The ground-breaking Finnish fiddle band, JPP, just released a comprehensive retrospective spanning fifteen years and six recordings. History traces the evolution of sophisticated string arrangements and composition that has given JPP its international reputation in the world of acoustic music.

The set covers the band from its inception in the early 80's up to their most recent recording, String Tease.

JPP's influence can be felt most significantly across the wide spectrum of the Nordic folk scene. Its members are active in a number of other Finnish folk ensembles, and appear as guest musicians on numerous recordings throughout Scandinavia. —Courtesy Calabash Music
