Jukka Gustavson & Sahti: Tahdon kertoa sinulle kaiken (studio live -79)

[toomanygittars]

Why did we never heard about these guys over here in Norway? This is - for the time - really good!

[Punakummitus]

The bass player is called Harri Vainikka. It's true that in this video he bears a style similar to Pekka Pohjola in many ways. This recording is a real rarity, and the band never went on to record any albums. All of them did perform as Jukka Gustavson's backing band on his 1981 album "Toden toistoa" but the times were dysmal for prog/jazz-rock and I think they were split up by growing frustration. One key factor in the split-up was also Gustavson having turned into a Jehova's Witness.

he must have that moog plugged into some post effects . . .

JUKKA GUSTAVSON es uno de los musicos mas grandes de la historia, junto a POHJOLA y PEMBROKE formaron la gran banda Wigwam que entre 1970-74 realizaron un Rock Progresivo de gran calidad, dejando para la posteridad el genial albun Being de 1974. Genio JUKKA!!!

Beautiful Beck-like guitarsolo. What happened to the guitarist?

[makikoti47]

@Renhjarta

He´s been teaching acoustic guitar at the Sibelius Academy, folk music Dpt, among other things

[annemirjami1]

Upeaa musiikkia!

[markkupaivarinta]

Onnellisia ovat ne, jotka näkivät ja kuulivat nämä herrat elävänä. Muistelen tämän ainutlaatuisen orkesterin soittaneen hienon keikan Oulussa Rattorissa about 1980.

There are so many things I lie about this video - where do I start? The music is good jazz/rock fusion. The video has some really cool tracking shots (dolly moves) the mix is good you can definitely hear everything the list goes on and on....are these guys still playing together some 31 years later? I'd like to know what became of them.

@PhilipQsongwriter1

they have performed a few times under the name Jukka Gustavson & Hottoe, and also made a record called "Toinen maisema" (other landscape) in 2006 (ZenMaster/Rockadillo records). Google "toinen maisema" and use google translate if interested

[PhilipQsongwriter1]

@ilkkatapio Thanks, I did Google Toinnen maisema and used Google translate to learn more about the band. I'm glad they kept on making music.

Who was bassman?

[Tegelman2]

@T4M33 I think it`s Pekka Pohjola

[T4M33]

Who is B?

[ssuperstar1917]

I think he runs his Moog through the large model Echoplex that you can see on top of the Lowrey organ, left of the Moog

[samiegfunk1]

i wonder what Moog patch he had set up. ive never heard a moof sound as this does.

[Punakummitus]

I'd like to know that too!

[konked]

The attack of the sound is close to Hammond in my ears. In general  this piece makes one wonder if Gustavson should have stayed in Wigwam because this is imo in many ways close to atmosphere of Nuclear Nightclub

[samiegfunk1]

Toden toistoa is a great album!

thanks!

[samiegfunk1]

seems like this is the only source of their music, i cant seem to find anything else on them,

would you know where?

[makikoti47]

Jukka Gustavson sang & played keyboards on the 4 first Wigwam albums between 1969-1974. This group, Sahti, was active around 1979-1980.

[samiegfunk1]

is this wigwam? did they write anything more like this style??

[RedPetrol76]

No...it's not Wigwam. It's ex-wig-keyboardist Jukka Gustavson and his backing group "Sahti".

[samiegfunk1]

WHO IS THIS?
