Jazz Finland Live

The New York-based Finnish quitarist, Olli Hirvonen, gives the last concert on the tour celebrating the release of his debut album at Zum Beispiel, in Porvoo.

Hirvonen's compositions incorporate a wide range of influence from modern and mainstream jazz with a hint of avant-garde and flavours of rock music. The quartet is international: on the tenor sax we have Frederick Menzies from Denmark, on the bass Jeff Koch from the U.S., and on the drums Philippe Lemm from the Netherlands.

The group has played at several jazz clubs in New York, at the Nordic Cool 2013 Festival in Washington D.C, at the UCLA European Jazz Festival in Los Angeles and at various venues in Boston and New York.
