Jani Pensola

Jani Pensola, also known as the ‘Funky Finn’, is equally at home in the fields of classical, jazz and tango. The double bass has taken Jani to almost every corner of the world, ending up in London.

Jani has already achieved a prodigious reputation being a member the LSO Double Bass section as well as delving deeper into the mysteries of solo double bass, contemporary and chamber music.

When Jani is not spending time with the bass, you might find him experimenting in South London’s curry houses with the hope of an extreme dining experience, and he is also English enough to understand what good bitter means every now and then.
