Club For Five vocal ensemble and UMO Jazz Orchestra visits Jyväskylän kesä festival in July. 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.

Conductor Esko Heikkinen. 

Open event

The fifth Häiriöjatsit club night takes over Telakka on Thursday 9 July at 9:00PM with three mind-blowing acts on stage!

The headlining man of the night is American drummer Chris Corsano whose career has seen collaborations with the likes of Joe McPhee, Paul Flaherty, Mats Gustafsson, Thurston Moore, Bill Orcutt, Nels Cline, Evan Parker and more. This time, Corsano tours with the up-and-coming saxophonist Mette Rasmussen.

To top it off, the night features two trios: the mysterious group The Puke Eaters and the noisy brotherhood of Simo Laihonen, Sami Pekkola and Tero Kemppainen.

Records will be spun by DJ Hologrammi-Ornette.

Tickets 10 €.
