Strange, but as I was lying in bed this morning I started thinking about 
Ahola. Every time his name is mentioned I can't help reminding myself 
that I've never heard a solo by him (on either side of the Atlantic) 
that impressed me enough to make me want to go back for more. Or to put 
it another way, I've never found a trumpet solo that I enjoyed that, 
through further investigation, turned out to be Hooley.
