Jazz Finland Live
Tickets 30/25 €
Tampere Jazz Happening offers a wide variety of styles and shades of jazz on both sides of the Tullikamari square. This year's country in the spotlight, Germany, is widely featured in the programme. At the opening concert, three younger generation bands present themselves to the Finnish audience. During the weekend, more German groups perform at the main concerts in the Pakkahuone.
As top names from the United States, three American jazz artists of the hip-hop generation take the stage at Pakkahuone: saxophonist Marcus Strickland, vocalist José James and vibraphonist Joel Ross. This time, the furthermost artists arrive from Australia and South Africa. The international line-up is completed by some of the most exciting names in European jazz right now. On Friday and Saturday, six bands are playing Finnish jazz at Telakka. The weekend's late nights end at the Klubi, with performances by London Afrobeat Collective and French-Ethiopian Kutu.
On Sunday, the festival concludes at Telakka, where German trombonist Janning Trumann and his band will play the closing concert.
