ARTO JÄRVELÄ
Far In!
OArt Music OArtCD3 (2004)

A one-man band album of his own tunes in his distinctive dry-toned, short-bowing, winding style from JPP frontman, one of Finland’s busiest and best-known fiddlers. Drawing on deep Finnish tradition and the worldwide links his travels and sessioning have brought, he self-accompanies on nyckelharpa, mandolins, kanteles, marimba, electric guitar, overtone flute, bass and sequencer.
