Jazz Finland Live
Jazz JKL: Jukka Perko Tritone,Poppari, jyväskylä22.3. At 20:00
Jukka Perko, one of Finland’s leading jazz artists, made his first outing with his brand new trio Tritone in April 2017. Featuring a rhythm section from the vanguard of Finnish jazz – Antti Lötjönenon the bass and Teppo Mäkynen on the drums – Tritone issued their debut album on We Jazz Records. Entitled, Dizzy, the effort is a tribute to the great Dizzy Gillespie – the first of its kind for Perko and a long-awaited return from him to the bebop tradition. As a young star, Perko toured in Gillespie’s big band in 1987-88, which gave his career a powerful boost both nationally and internationally.
Jazz JKL is proud to welcome one of the world's leading saxophonists to Poppari this March!
