The Finnish Jazz Federation’s tour season for the autumn 2015 will reach its grand finale when one of the fathers of Finnish jazz takes his stellar quartet to eight Finnish cities at the turn of December. Saxophonist Eero Koivistoinen has hand-picked some of the most gifted players of their generation into his team: Alexi Tuomarila on the piano, Jori Huhtala on the bass and Jussi Lehtonen on the drums. Their newest release Hati Hati came out earlier this year on Svart Records and was preceded by a long-awaited reissue of Koivistoinen’s classic 1971 album The Original Sin. The tour will see the star-studded group play live in Nurmes, Oulu, Kuopio, Joensuu, Raahe, Lappeenranta, Turku and Tallinn.
