Description was written before the event

Olli Ahvenlahti brings his new quintet to G Livelab. Mirror Mirror (2024) marks a return to electric jazz funk - his previous full-length album Thinking, Whistling (We Jazz Records, 2017) was created by an acoustic ensemble.

Before the album's release, the band performed under the name The Poet II, a direct reference to the 1976 classic The Poet. The new album, however, was not made as a sequel but rather with the studio kept open to entirely new directions.

Ahvenlahti is joined by trumpeter Jukka Eskola, saxophonist Joonatan Rautio, bassist Ville Herrala, and drummer Jaska Lukkarinen. Ahvenlahti himself plays keyboards, listed in the album credits as "Fender Rhodes Seventy Three Electric Piano and Oberheim Synthesizer".
