Publication “Quite a Pair. Torupilli Juss & Cätlin Mägi”

The publication contains two CDs. The first one features the tunes played and songs sung by Juhan Maaker aka Torupilli Juss (Bagpipe Johnny), the second is a collec- tion of his covers played and sung by Cätlin Mägi. The tunes played by Torupilli Juss are in the same order as they are in the archive recordings.

The booklet contains an introduction to the life and musical career of Juhan Maaker. A more in depth analysis of the structure and playing techniques has been provided for 44 instrumental tunes and three songs. A selection of colorful memories related to Torupilli Juss, written down by August Pulst, the orga- nizer of folk music tours and an advocate for Estonian folk music, forms an integral part of the publication.
