Suspenseful times at Joonas Haavisto’s home. Will Joonas Riippa’s drums fit into the apartment in addition to the grand piano? Probably, but how?

Timo Lassy Band is one of the most popular Finnish jazz bands for a reason. The quintet led by sax player Lassy consist of the crème de la crème of domestic jazz and functions as a single unit, living and breathing one big musical vision. The band can swing and their music is both deep and bold. This gig features guest appearences by artists from the hit album Love Bullet.
Bass player Teemu Åkerblom and his quartet released their debut album just in time for We Jazz. The band is full of talented next generation jazz musicians and Åkerblom’s vision is deep yet simultaneously rhythmically oriented. One might use the term spiritual jazz.
The We Jazz DJ collective consists of Eero Löyttyjärvi and Matti Nives with occasional visits by friends. Their record bag is filled with jazz sounds from the beginning of the genre to this day with a special focus on the raw sound of 60’s club jazz. Löyttyjärvi can be hard on Saturdays between 2 and 4 PM on Bassoradio’s programme Lauantaijazzit. Nives is one of the hosts of Jazz kiinnostaa, which can be heard every Sunday at noon on Radio Helsinki.
