Jazz Finland Live

This concert sees UMO revisit Finnish composer Kerkko Koskinen's piece, Agatha, which the big band recorded with the composer in 2007. Unlike on the disc, the soloists will be provided by UMO and Koskinen himself pops in to play the grand piano in a few songs. He will also introduce the album and talk about its background in a 45-minute talk before the concert. 

The concert will be conducted by Mikko Hassinen. 

Duration 2 h, incl. interval

Aili Ikonen counts among the most celebrated of Finnish singers. 13 October will see the release of her new album, Piirrä minut, which promises to unveil a more personal and intimate side of the vocalist: sketches of fleeting moments, sleepless nights, burning thirst and colours blending with water.

Coming out on Groovy Records, the album sees Ikonen in the double role of composer-lyricist. Her solo debut Laulan charmed audiences widely upon its release last year, and the sophomore will now take both her style and the Finnish vocal jazz to a new, bolder direction. Backing the leading lady is a quintet of frontline Finnish jazz musicians: bassist Mikko Pellinen, trumpeter Janne Toivonen, saxophonist-flutist William Suvanne, pianist Tuomas J. Turunen and drummer Mikko Arlin.

Aili Ikonen - vocals
Janne Toivonen - trumpet
William Suvanne - saxophone, flute
Tuomas J. Turunen - piano
Mikko Pellinen - bass
Mikko Arlin - drums

Tickets 22,50/ 16,50 €
