Jazz Finland Live
The tribal jazz-prog rock phenomenon Jarmo Saari Republic released their second album Soldiers Of Light in March on the German label Membran. Multi-instrumentalist Saari and his three unpredictable musceteers create a ritualistic flow of rhythms and timbres. The band leader Saari made his international breakthrough with the fantasy-jazz band XL, and the three drummers are best-known for such names as Timo Lassy Band, Von Hertzen Brothers and Ilmiliekki Quartet.

Sointi Jazz Orchestra levyjulkaisukonserttiKoko Jazz Club, helsinki29.12. At 17:00
Sointi Jazz Orchestra is a newish group, formed by young professional musicians and led by composer-arranger Rasmus Soini. Soini, a Savonlinna native, formed the nearly 20-member group in 2013 to have an orchestra to realise his musical ideas. The fact that Sointi Jazz Orchestra is composed of freelance musicians makes it a rare phenomenon in the Finnish jazz scene. Despite the orchestra's size, Soini whishes to avoid calling Sointi a conventional big band; rather, the orchestra is about approaching big band music from a fresh angle and allowing for each members' personal idiom to be heard. This method, advocated by such greats as Duke Ellington and Maria Schneider, has been received well by the members, and the group has established itself in a short time.
