Jazz Finland Live

Helsinki’s Savoy Theatre is to play host for an unforgettable jazz evening on 14 September when Jussi Lampela Nonet, led by the eponymous composer, returns to the stage after almost a year-long silence. The acclaimed group will be joined by two first-class younger-generation singers: Maria Ylipää, who, like the nonet, is just re-entering Finnish arenas, and Aili Ikonen who has recently released an acclaimed new album. The theme of the concert is future classics; new songs that have been arranged in the spirit of jazz standards. The lyrics are by Heimo Hatakka, who has previously penned lines for such Finnish artists as Anna Puu, vocal group Viisi and Jonna Järnefelt.
