Founded in 2013, Bowman Trio is a gifted young group, formed by trumpeter Tomi Nikku, bassist Joonas Tuuri and drummer Sami Nummela.

The group has taken a surprising narrative framework for their music: namely, the story of the Swedish Johan Bowman -- a man who migrated to the West Coast of the U.S. in the 1950s, climbed to the peak of Mount Everest, fled Erwin Rommel in the Sahara desert and worked for the CIA. Expect cinematic tunes inspired by an astonishing life and in the style of the cool West Coast jazz -- a genre whose golden age coincided with the life of Bowman himself.

Tomi Nikku - trumpet
Joonas Tuuri - bass
Sami Nummela - drums

Organised by Jazzkerho -76.

Tickets: 15 €, members 10 €, students 6 €.
