Jazz Finland Live

Next spring, the 15-year old Club For Five vocal ensemble and 40-year old UMO will be touring some of the largest concert venues in Finland. The collaboration gives a tour of tango with a difference: evergreens by Unto Mononen and Toivo Kärki in new, innovative and entertaining versions. A New Take On Tango is a tribute to two legendary Finnish songwriters and will present a new perspective on their music as a highly unconventional tango ensemble – a big band with a five-part vocal ensemble – combine Finnish tangos with anything from bebop to 1960’s Motown soul. The arrangements for 16-piece big band and vocal ensemble were written by Mikko Hassinen, Marzi Nyman and Pessi Levanto, among others. UMO’s 40th and Club For Five’s 15th anniversary year coincides also with the 100th anniversary of the birth of late Toivo Kärki.
