Timo Alakotila is one of Finland’s busiest, most versatile and most in-demand musicians, as composer, arranger, pianist and harmonium player in folk, classical, jazz and pop fields. His career began in 1982 in Kaustinen, Finland as harmonium player and founder member of the fiddle group JPP, who quickly established themselves as the best and most innovative fiddle music group in Finland. An album made in 2001 by English accordionist Karen Tweed and Norwegian pianist Timo Alakotila (plus various other instruments ranging from flugelhorn to string quartet). While normally I’m not a huge fan of accordions, I love this album - the playing is sensitive and the arrangements interesting and varied. It contains a mix of Scandanavian, Irish, Scottish and English tunes. Posted by megachug 12 years ago. Correction.

Playing with confidence and sensitivity, Tweed and Alakotila's chemistry manages to transcend "jazz," "world" or "new music" genres. By organically fusing these styles, their music ought to satisfy fans of Eastern European-influenced jazz, as well as folk purists. At times thoughtful and humorous, most songs are medleys of both traditional and original compositions, with Tweed's sprightly accordion work and ornamented melodic style, a decidedly Celtic influence is at the core of most tunes.

Karen Tweed (UK) & Timo Alakotila (Finland). a sensual feast of Irish, Nordic, British, and original music arranged and performed with exquisite taste and detail. Irish Echo Anglo Scandinavian duo May Monday sees the mercurial, mesmerising, accordionist Karen Tweed and the sublimely subtle pianist Timo Alakotila weaving intricate, yet haunting melodies into vivacious, colourful tapestries of sound. Their playing appears to be so in harmony with one another that they sound almost musically conjoined. May Monday received phenomenal praise and accolades for the artistic grace and beauty of the debut CD May Monday including Album of the Year by BBC Radio 3 presenter, Fiona Talkington. Part folk, part jazz, part classical inspired, critics hailed it for its unique ability to break down musical barriers.
