Jazz Finland Live

Osmo Ikonen is a versatile talent whose face has become known to the general audience through the popular TV show SuomiLOVE. However, this multi-instrumentalism has been around for a long time already and is equally comfortable in the spheres of rock, funk and abstract jazz. To date, he has released two solo albums whose material will be presented in this concert at Iisalmi's Bebop. Prepare yourself for a party!

Since 1996, Free Voices, Free Sounds, managed by producer Charles Gil, has been forging a bridge between Finnish and French jazz cultures successfully. The agency will celebrate its 20th anniversary accordingly, by co-producing a 14-concert Finnish tour for French Théo Ceccaldi Trio and Finnish Pepa Päivinen & Good Romans with the Finnish Jazz Federation. The groups play altogether five concerts together and a number of concerts individually.

Théo Ceccaldi Trio, formed by the eponymous violinist, guitarist Guillaume Akninen and cellist Valentin Ceccaldi, hail from Orléans, France. Founded in 2010, they perform intensive and aerial chamber jazz, combining strings and guitar to original effect. The group has released two albums Carrousel (2012) and Can You Smile? (2015), both on label Ayler Records and to great international acclaim. Active live performers, Ceccaldi’s team was selected for the acclaimed French concert programme for young talents, Jazz Migration. The leader himself is a member in the French Orchestre National de Jazz, led by Olivier Benoît.
