Gigs on the same day in helsinki
In
Finnish Kalevala mythology kokko refers to a gigantic eagle, a mythical
creature of the air having many
forms, as does the music of Kokko Quartet. Established in 2010 and based in
Helsinki, the group plays
recognizably Scandinavian jazz but draws influences from Indian and Arabic
music as well as Cuban
rhythms, thus creating a distinctive overall sound. Kokko Quartet performs
songs written by pianist Johanna Pitkänen, saxophone player Kaisa Siirala
and bass player Timo Tuppurainen. Together with drummer Risto Takala, these
four musicians share an interest in free expression, jazz and world music.
Intuitively, they move through the music with a spirit of great freedom in
their interplay. The group’s debut album Like a Riverwas released in March
2013. During 2013 the group performed in example at Bohemia Jazz Fest in
Czech Republic and at Jazzahead! in Bremen, Germany.
The event is free of charge, age limit 22 years.
Kaisa Siirala - saxophones, flute, bansuri flute
Johanna Pitkänen - piano, keys
Timo Tuppurainen - bass
Risto Takala - drums
