Ville Herrala (b. 1979) is one of the most highly-regarded bass players working on the Finnish scene. He’s known from the ranks of such top ensembles as PLOP, Jukka Perko Jazztet, U-Street All Stars, Jukka Eskola Orquesta Bossa UMO Helsinki Jazz Orchestra, to name but a few. 
 
 Herrala released his solo album Pu: (We Jazz Records) on February 2020. Utilising only the double bass but looking at the instrument from various different perspectives. The end result is an inspired set of 14 miniatures, each pushing the concept forward in a highly personal way.
