Jazz Finland Live

The most magnificent and eco-friendly cruise ship of the Baltic Sea, Viking Grace, is together with Flame Jazz inviting you to yet another mini jazz festival at sea in September.

The uniqe concept combines jazz with the beautiful Archipelago Sea landscapes. The audience gets to enjoy some of Finland’s high end jazz ensembles during 23h, for the regular price of a cruise. In addition to the top artists there will also be relaxed jam sessions together with music students. Both cruise days will also have some interesting talk shows, where artists, event organizers and other jazz workers will participate.

The 13th Flame Jazz Cruise offers a wide program shifting between cinematic atmospheres and electric virtuosity, and takes you from unprejudiced avant-garde landscapes all the way to steamy swing and captivating afro-rhythms.

Vibraphonist Arttu Takalo is best known abroad for his fantasy jazz ensemble XL. The five-piece toured extensively in the 90's and it's members have made remarkable careers in their respective fields of music. Takalo has worked with a number of Finnish jazz, rock and pop artists, composed and arranged music for classical orchestras and films. In 2000 he was appointed as the Pori Jazz Festival Artist of the Year, and in 2002 he released his first solo album. His latest band L'Alliance Takalo's self-titled album came out in September 2017 on Rockadillo Records and that makes it Takalo's ninth solo release. L'Alliance Takalo plays the soundtrack of the little stories at the decadent, yet sophisticated Parisian bistros of the past.
