Jazz Finland Live

at 4.00pm

Kari Antila – g, Manuel Dunkel – sax, Alexi Tuomarila – p, Teemu Åkerblom – b, Ville Pynssi – dr

The group plays guitarist Antila’s original compositions, which represent a melodic, approachable take on modern jazz. Quintet’s debut album is released in early summer.

at 5.30pm Pepa Päivinen Quintet

Pepa Päivinen – sax, Timo Kämäräinen – g, Juho Laitinen – c, Ville Huolman – b, Mikko Hassinen – dr

Saxman Päivinen and drummer Hassinen have composed a whole palette of contemporary jazz for the ensemble. The music floats and bounces from brutal expression to lyrical sensitivity, experimenting, clear structures, psychedelia and the melancholia of the Finnish folk music.

Janne Tuovinen, basso
Jesse Ojajärvi, rummut
