Throughout the years, Jukka has performed and recorded music of many styles and genres, often simultaneously! Rock, pop, jazz, classical, funk, blues, boogie, reggae, worldly fusions and more. He also skillfully combines astounding technical skills as a player with melodic compositional abilities. His motivation and attitude have always been that of true devotion, one of all consuming passion. Regardless of the format in which he is presented, when Jukka Tolonen sets his fingers to the strings, audiences, listeners, he and his band members, all come alive.
