Men of Thousands of Tracks

Men of Thousands of Tracks tells the story of the golden era of Finnish studio musicians in 1960-80. A small team
of musicians became the core group of studios, and all producers wanted to use them. Their advantage was
commanding all the styles in popular music and being fast. These hardy professionals were putty in the hands
of a conductor. With their creativity, they could always produce the sound and comping for the recording at hand.
