Freshly out of Sibelius Academy with Doctor's Degree in hand, guitarist Sami Linna takes his quartet to the first Jazz Finland tour in January 28–February 7. The quartet – Linna accopanied by saxophonist Jussi Kannaste, Mikko Helevä in Hammond and American Dana Hall in drums – released their debut album on the stylish Timmion Records earlier this year.

"Take a pinch of classic Blue Note soul jazz, some stylings from the 1970's afrocentric movement, and streamed to perfection lines of a lead jazz guitar and you've put together the pieces of Sami Linna Quartet's sound. Their album on Timmion is one for the dark evenings, for the first rays of sunlight cracking through a summer mist, for the dance floors of the mind."
