Find the hidden treasure in Helsinki for your swinging day off! Koko Jazz Club has some of the finest jazz artist in the world. It is a club run by musicians. That is why some of the very best artists, such as Dave Liebman, Joey Calderazzo, Jeff Watts, Adam Nussbaum and Tim Hagans, hit the stage when they are around. The artistic guideline of the programme is modern mainstream. Check out the musicians' favourite in Helsinki, next to Hakaniemi subway stop.

Guitarist Teemu Viinikainen is one of a kind. As a supreme instrumentalist and soulful interpreter the well-known virtuoso from Helsinki has, over the years, played in a number of top groups: the ensembles of Jukka Perko, Eero Koivistoinen and Jukkis Uotila have assisted in Viinikainen becoming well known by jazz audiences. Within their ranks, he has emerged as a world-class guitarist, evidenced by his collaborations with such major overseas artists as Joe Lovano, Tim Hagans and Randy Brecker.

Viinikainen is joined by his old friends, drummer Jussi lehtonen and bassist Timo Hirvonen. This rhythm section bring the funk under Viinikainen's superb, subtle textures. This will be a night of mind-readers!
