Jazz Finland Live

Sointi Jazz Orchestra revisit Star Boys this Christmas!

Fronted by four singers, the 18-piece orchestra perform the best-loved Finnish Christmas play Star Boys' Singing Procession. Soini and Partanen’s version stretches Star Boys from its original 15-minute duration to a 50-minute concert, but the story, the events and the lyrics remain untouched. The range of atmospheres varies from upbeat swing to brooding solemnity and everything in between, and preludes, interludes and improvised solos add drama and coherence to the new version. 

Since 2013 Sointi Jazz Orchestra has produced novel and exciting concerts, offering first-class music experiences to the audience. The concert makes an excellent kick start to the Christmas season for the whole family.

Performers: Sointi Jazz Orchestra conducted by Rasmus Soini
Singers: Kalle Ruusukallio, Lauri Mikkola, Juuso Waris sekä Minna Tuuliainen

Arrangement of Star Boys: Rasmus Soini & Siiri Partanen
Duration approx. 50 min. 

Tickets 15 €

Alexi Tuomarila Trio saw daylight in 2004 and their debut album Constellation was released on Norwegian Jazzaway Records the following year. The trio was touring intensely back then in Norway, Finland and the Benelux countries. Tuomarila's, among other trio members, career took a flight then and the cosmopolite band leader claimed reputation and awards in piano competitions in Monaco, Granada, Avignon and Brussels. The Observer magazine picked Tuomarila among six jazz musicians to keep an ear on in the future.

The release of their second album took eight years, due to musicians being extremely occupied with their other projects. Tuomarila and Louhivuori had their hands full in Tomasz Stanko's band and Eilertsen in Tord Gustavsen's trio. Also the musicians own projects like Louhivuori's acclaimed Oddarrang and Mats Eilertsen Quartet took time from the trio work. Still the artists met on stage from time to time in pairs or all together, and in 2012 it was time for a new rise of the "future stars". Alexi Tuomarila made a three-album contract with the British Edition Records, who also represent Oddarrang among other familiar names to us Finns. The first record of the triple-deal  was Seven Hills that came out in 2013. On Seven Hills the trio sounds mre full and balanced than ever, and the album got positive reviews all over the press. 

Now the trio returns to Finland to play new material in ten concerts. This is the best chance to sneak-peak some of the secret tracks that will probably find their way to their next album.
