Jazz Finland Live

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.
