7:00PM Verneri Pohjola Quartet One of the most internationally acclaimed jazz artists, Verneri Pohjola, first came to attention in early 2000s followed by the critical interest in Ilmiliekki Quartet. His first solo album, Aurora, was awarded as the jazz album of the year in the Emma Awards in 2009, but the final international breakthrough seems to have come along with the third album, the 2015 Bullhorn, which has been lauded by the press all over the globe.
