Jazz Finland Live

Finnish jazz favorites Jukka Perko Avara and Aili Ikonen join forces to present a fresh take on some of the most beloved evergreens from the 1960s. Their repertoire consists of songs from such composers and singer-songwriters as Michel Legrand, Burt Bacharach and Randy Newman, and leans towards pieces popularised by the iconic singer Dusty Springfield.

Bagland is a quintet consisting of five musicians, who all have their roots based in the scandinavian sound. In March 2020 Bagland will be touring in Finland and will bring their newest release, Cirkel, which has gained critical acclaim:
✭✭✭✭✭ Jazz And Beyond "Cirkel, is an album for quiet times when pleasure and thoughts is on the agenda"

The music is inspired by the deserted and open nordic landscape. Lyrical and melancholic melodies characterizes the compositions and the sound is clean and fragile with obvious reference to the nordic sound. The debut album was nominated for the Danish Jazz Award and the follow-up NOMAD was a big part of Jakob Sørensen winning the title "Danish Jazz Artist of the Year 2017". Besides that Bagland represents some of the most interesting and notable musicians on the danish jazz scene just now.
