About Reflections in Real Time

Being Pohjola's first solo piano recording – made in three sessions 1993 and 1998 – this release witnesses a young pianist on an upward spiral, although still early in his progression. Pohjola's musical perspectives have been reshaped many times since this recording. On this one, however, you'll hear the first attempts to the craft and creativity which has influenced many of the subsequent Scandinavian jazz artists.
