Jazz Finland Live

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, which 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.

The 1986 album Upside Downside was a turning point on Mike Stern's career. The former Miles Davis guitarist has been a beacon figure for jazz guitarists ever since. Stern performed with Jussi Lehtonen and Joonatan Rautio in 2014 at the Sibelius Academy's DIG. Festival.

Guitarist Varre Vartiainen released a big band album for Blue Note with Espoo Big Band earlier this year. In this concert he will be taking a sweeping look at his favourite.
