Jyväskylä Big Band (www)
A concert of champions! In November 2016, Sointi Jazz Orchestra and Jyväskylä Big Band were crowned joint champions in the big band Finnish championship contest. Both of the winners will be heard in a concert for the first time, as Sointi Jazz Orchestra's Finnish tour makes a stop in Jyväskylä on April 22.
JBB kicks off the night with their set, after which SJO will be treating us to the material of their acclaimed debut Syntymä (Birth), released last year, and the leader-composer Rasmus Soini's new compositions. Prepare yourself for cinematic sounds, well-honed arrangements and skilful improvisation - a meandering musical journey that will leave no one cold.
Founded by young freelance musicians in 2013, Sointi Jazz Orchestra has become known for interesting one-off concerts where the music has been carefully tailored for the performers. The group has collaborated with the likes of saxophonist Juhani Aaltonen, Helsinki Student Theatre, singer Stina Koistinen and saxophonist Jukka Perko, and their big band version of the classic Christmas play Star Boys has delighted hundreds of listeners in the past three years it has been staged.
Duration 2 hrs, tickets: 20/10 €
Co-organised by Sointi Jazz Orchestra ry and Jyväskylä Big Band. Supporters: Finnish Jazz Federation, Finnish Music Foundation and Arts Promotion Centre Finland.

TTT-klubi: Johanna Iivanainen Trio,Tampereen Työväen Teatteri, tampere22.4. At 22:00
Warm - that is the adjective that first comes to mind when Johanna Iivanainen opens her mouth. Her stunning voice always rings softly and captivatingly irrespective of whether she is fronting a big band or performing in an intimte club setting. Her performance will never leave you cold.
This is the third time for Iivanainen to appear in the TTT concert series, and now she will be accompanied by the virtuosic vibraphonist Panu Savolainen and her spouse, guitarist Mikko Iivanainen. The setlist will comprise a mix of originals and jazz standards. Johanna Iivanainen Trio's first live appearance took place at the Finnish National Theatre's the Lavaklubi.
Iivanainen has received a number of acknowledgements, including the Louis Armstrong Prize and the Sony Jazz Prize, and collaborated with the likes of UMO Jazz Orchestra, Turku Jazz Orchestra, Jukka Perko, Eero Koivistoinen, Antti Sarpila, Riku Niemi Orchestra and various symphony orchestras.
