Jazz Finland Live

Mirja Mäkelä Trio celebrates their second album in an album-launch concert at Ravintola Juttutupa. Aptly, the group’s tenth anniversary, too, coincides with the release of the recording, doubling the reason to party.

Led by the eponymous trombonist, Kasperi Sarikoski & Nuance is one of the most interesting newcomers of the Finnish jazz scene.
Despite drawing from as far and wide as indie rock and electronic music, this young group does not hold eclecticism as a value in itself but rather as a springboard to original, distinctive sound. Acoustic and electric instruments and effects are used to create a sonic palette that incorporates a wide variety of different tones and timbres. It is into these musical primary colours that the leader Kasperi Sarikoski then dips his pen when writing music for the group.
Their 2015 debut Essence (Fredriksson Music) gained them larger-scale attention and was praised by both critics and listeners alike.
