BAK
In October Club Iholla presents young talents of Finnish jazz. Vocalist Josefiina Vannesluoma and pianist Toomas Keski-Säntti paint delicate and dynamic soundscapes with their compositions and a fresh quartet BAK combines avantgarde, free jazz and visual elements to a modern whole.
KESKI-SÄNTTI X VANNESLUOMA In the beginning, Helsinki-based pianist Toomas Keski-Säntti and singer Josefiina Vannesluoma only wanted to improvise. Some of their material eventually evolved to more structured compositions that yet have not lost their originality and sense of freedom. At best the music fluctuates as a dynamic sound installation, with texts by Leena Kuusisto and Vannesluoma. The duo published three music videos named as 'Kallio-Kuninkala Sessions in the spring of 2018. https://www.josefiinavannesluoma.com/keski-santtixvannesluoma
BAK BAK is a group of young musicians from Helsinki. The members describe their sound as modern jazz, but they also incorporate sounds of free-jazz and avantgarde into their music. BAK's music is a blend of an energetic rhythm section and flowing saxophone-melodies. Original compositions, visual elements and special instruments built by Kolanen himself bring a profound and original touch to BAK's music. Casimir Ekman: soprano – and tenor-saxophone Jimi Nurminen: piano Juho Suominen: bass Benjamin Kolanen: drums https://web.facebook.com/bak.trio/?_rdc=1&_rdr

Julkinen Sana
The crowd-pleasing Ricky-Tick Big Band & Julkinen Sana makes their long-awaited comeback to concert halls this October. The grand ensemble of jazz and hip hop celebrates their third album with nine-concert tour covering six cities.
“Since the first album, the music of this ensemble has been the search of new directions. On this upcoming album we challenge ourselves and the audience with more modern style than before. There are more electronic sounds, electric drum tracks and sub-bass frequencies and strong contrasts from minimalistic trap beat to massive brass avalanche ”, Valtteri Laurell Pöyhönen states.
The ensemble has released two albums Burnaa (2013) and Korottaa Panoksii (2015) both with very good reviews and the band has reached audience from sold-out concert halls to music festivals. Their third album Pidä valot päällä is set to release on 28th of September.
