Jazz Finland Live

Top-class  Finnish jazz hits Helsinki's club Tavastia on 27 January in the biggest jazz night of the month! This unique concert sees two sweltering hot groups take the stage -- first individually, then together. The event is hosted by Radio Helsinki's legendary DJ Bunuel. 

Perhaps Finland's most charismatic jazz act, Timo Lassy Band always delivers shows that have a 100 % quality guarantee. Known for their rootsy and compellingly swinging style, Timo Lassy Band are ultra-stylish from head to toe, both live and on record. The show will kick off their 10th anniversary year with a bang.

Like Lassy's outfit, cult group Dalindèo has a reputation as a wild live performer that turns even the shyest members of the audience dancing kings and queens. Led by composer-guitarist Valtteri Laurell Pöyhönen, Dalindèo's unusual surf-jazz sound is a phenomenon that has appealed to audiences across genre categories.

Having released their newest album, Hurmos, at the beginning of December, the instrumental trio will now hit the road on a Finnish tour!

Known as a trio, the band will temporarily grow into a six-piece art collective with visual artist Emma Luukkala, lighting designer JereSuontausta and sound engineer Mika Savolainen joining its ranks specifically for the tour.

Formed in 2011, Virta is a Helsinki-based instrumental trio whose unique sound is composed of elements drawn from the traditions of jazz, post-rock and electronic music. Their 2012 debut Tales from the Deep Waters (Tourist Information) sold out and garnered plenty of acclaim from both critics and fans of jazz. Their fresh sound and unusual instrumentation have attracted attention outside Finland as well; and, indeed, Virta were invited to perform at the prestigious Jazzahead! Festival, to be held at Bremen, Germany, in April 2017.

Antti Hevosmaa: trumpet, vocals, electronics
Heikki Selamo: guitar, vocals, electronics
Erik Fräki: drums, percussion, electronics

Live visuals: Emma Luukkala
Stage lighting: Jere Suontausta
Mixing: Mika Savolainen
