Description

The most prominent figure in Jupu Group was young violinist Juhani "Jupu" Poutanen, who already had many years of education in classical music behind him. The other members were keyboardist Jukka Linkola, guitarist Janne Louhivuori, bassist Ilkka Hanski, and drummer Urpo "Upi" Sorvali.

Jupu Group was not a permanent outfit. They played funky jazzrock with influences from Herbie Hancock, Jean-Luc Ponty and Weather Report. Their debut performance was during the 1975 Summer Week happenings in Helsinki. During August and September they recorded their only album "Ahmoo", which incorporated influences from several different genres - even modern classical music.

When the album was released, the band had already ceased to exist, as Poutanen had moved to Rovaniemi for studying and playing in the local municipal orchestra.

This is one jazz-fusion album I can honestly say I like - not only is the band full of highly skilled musicians, but the music contains enough ideas and variety to keep me interested. Upi Sorvali is one of my favourite drummers, and surprisingly enough, one of the members later ended up in Hurriganes! Extra kudos to mysterious pseudonym Raz (does anyone know his real name?), who designed the gorgeous cover! He did a lot of album covers in the 70's, his style was usually wackily humorous (he drew comics too), but as you can see, he could do real psychedelic art as well when asked to. The production on this record is also top-notch, as can be expected from Hi-Hat's releases. Who owns the rights to this label's output anyway? Come on, let's see more CD releases of Hi-Hat's records!
