Jazz legend Olli Ahvenlahti arrives at G Livelab with his all-star lineup!
The album Mirror Mirror (2024) marks Olli Ahvenlahti’s return to a more electric jazz-funk sound following his previous full-length release, Thinking, Whistling (We Jazz Records, 2017), performed with an acoustic ensemble. In the concerts leading up to the album, Ahvenlahti’s band performed under the name The Poet II, making the connection to his 1976 classic The Poet unmistakable. However, the new album was not conceived as a direct sequel, leaving the musical direction in the studio open to entirely new paths.
Both on the album and on stage, Ahvenlahti’s ensemble features trumpeter Jukka Eskola, saxophonist Joonatan Rautio, bassist Ville Herrala, and drummer Jaska Lukkarinen — each among the top tier of Finnish musicians, bringing the composer’s vision to life. Ahvenlahti himself handles keyboards, listed in the album credits as “Fender Rhodes Seventy Three Electric Piano and Oberheim Synthesizer.” The maestro also knows how to give space to his outstanding band, resulting in a beautifully polished overall sound that is at once refined, yet suitably vibrant and full of surprises. The experience of a long career lends Ahvenlahti’s compositions a sense of unhurriedness and honesty.
