Jazz Finland Live

A day before the Finnish independence, Bar Dubrovnik's Inversio (Inversion) club series offers independent music at its best. On stage we have four orchestras that swing boldly against the current in the true spirit of independence.

Timetable (subject to changes):

9:00PM The Blassics (Juha Sarkkola, Tuure Tammi, Mikko Veijonen, Hanna Lotti, Joona Venäläinen, Ville-Pekka Järvinen) play afro jazz infused with the deepest of deep funk.

10:00PM Jorma Tapio & Kaski (Jorma Tapio, Simo Laihonen, Ville Rauhala). Jorma Tapio, a bold outlaw of Finnish jazz, steps on the stage with his reborn group Kaski.

11:00PM Fetus Maximus (Miika Toivanen, Aleksi Lappalainen, Matti Stenvall) is the most unpredictable punk-jazz-prog-whatnot group that you can find from Southern Finland.

00:00PM Trio Pussit (Lucky Mike, Shakki Masa, Byssus Don Bisse) treat you to some bass.

Cloakroom fee 2,5€ + voluntary entry fee (2,5 € recommendation).

One of the highlights of this autumn's programme is the Scandinavian tour of Markus Pesonen Hendectet - a group led by Berlin- and Copenhagen-based guitarist Markus Pesonen. Now the rare big band treat stops by in Joensuu, too. Their debut album, Hum, was a real dark horse, and it was received with a mountain of favourable reviews by critics.
