How are the rehearsals of a professional big band like? What kind of final touch-ups are made to the programme before the premiere?
Pianist & composer Seppo Kantonen has written a series of compositions for his beloved wind instrument players and colleagues at UMO Helsinki Jazz Orchestra – welcome to UMO Helsinki´s rehearsal hall at Cable Factory to hear how the program is fine-tuned! As the rehearsals are kept as authentic as possible, certain parts and passages may be honed a number of times. A conductor will also be present at the rehearsals, directing the orchestra toward the desired sound.

Juhani Aaltonen - Arild Andersen Re-Union Trio
Legends of Nordic jazz, sax man Juhani Aaltonen and bassist Arild Andersen play together for the first time in nearly 40 years. The maestros perform mostly new music, but we might also hear a few treats from the old days. The trio is completed by emerging drummer Ilmari Heikinheimo, who continues to advance the Finnish free jazz legacy and musical language first heard on record on the classic album Nana (1970) featuring Aaltonen, Andersen and Edward Vesala.
