Jazz Finland Live

at 4.00pm Unio Ensemble

Manuel Dunkel – sax, Jere Haakana – g, Aki Rissanen – p, Ville Pynssi – dr, Mikko Pellinen – db, arr.

Unio Ensemble is an exceptional jazz quintet to interprete art music. Bassist Mikko Pellinen has arranged a repertoire of carefully chosen pearls of 19th and 20th centuries’ music, from Maurice Ravel to Jean Sibelius.

at 5.30pm Pope Puolitaival United

Pope Puolitaival – sax, Jukka Eskola – trp, Jay Kortehisto – trmb, Jussi Lehtonen – dr, Antti Lötjönen – b, Aki Rissanen – p

This brand new ensemble takes us timetravelling to the wild, hardbopping New York of the 60’s. “Pope” Puolitaival’s energic compositions bow to the jazz aesthetics and the Afro-American rhythmics of the decade.
