Our Take

Verneri Pohjola, the trumpeter extraordinaire from Finland, has just dropped his latest album "The Dead Don't Dream" and it's safe to say that this jazz fusion masterpiece is anything but a snooze fest.

From the hauntingly beautiful melodies to the intricate rhythms, Pohjola showcases his virtuosic talent in every track. It's like he's playing a game of musical chess with the listener, constantly surprising and delighting with unexpected twists and turns.

The title track, "The Dead Don't Dream," is a moody, atmospheric journey that transports you to a dreamlike state where the boundaries between life and death blur. It's a hauntingly beautiful piece that will linger in your mind long after the last note fades away.
