Gigs on the same day in helsinki
Viapori Jazz 2015: Perko, Perkola - Kosminen kohtaaminenRuutikellari, Suomenlinna, helsinki29.8. At 14:00
The programme put together by the otherworldly artists three is built on jazz evergreens. The pure, enigmatic vocals of Mikko Perkola remove the artificial sweeteners from these beloved melodies, which are then seasoned with many centuries of flavour as baroque sonorities of viola da gamba interweave with the electronic sounds cosmic. In the manner typical of Viapori Jazz, surprises are to be expected.
Jukka Perko – saksofonit
Mikko Perkola – viola da gamba, laulu
Samuli Kosminen – efektit
