The best funky fusion album ever recorded by Finnish musician,seriously!
Eero Koivistoinen have released some acoustic jazz albums before "Wahoo!", but there he switched to very intensive electric sound,influenced by American leading fusion musicians of that time.Eero plays electric soprano sax with support of groovy rhythm section (two bassists and two drummers), 4-pieces horn section, keyboardist,two guitarists and two percussionists! Solid,almost rock-heavy in a moments sound is full of funkiness.
Eero uses wah-wah pedal and Variton connected amplified soprano sax, and in combination with fuzzy bass,distorted Rhodes and wah-wah guitars growls album's music reminds all electric Miles,early McLaughlin and Weather Report music at the same time.
Absolutely exciting evidence of golden era early 70s fusion, this album was for years collectors wet dream, while released on vinyl only in Finland in 1973 (the original Lp issue was only 600 copies!). Re-released by Whatmusic on CD for the first time in 2000 only it became much more accessible, but still stays on the shade.
Highly recommended for every early fusion fan - this album is of the same musical quality as leading genre's album are!
