Jazz Finland Live

Tickets 15/10 €

Jazz Jkl Collective's year ends on a delightful, swinging note as local prodigy, saxophonist Severi Tikkinen, breathes life into the best bebop-era dance tunes!

Saxophonist and pianist Severi Tikkinen has become familiar to the audience in Jyväskylä through his work with the Desho Desho ensemble and his contributions to the Jyväskylä Big Band. Currently studying at Metropolia University of Applied Sciences in Helsinki, this musician is also a product of Jyväskylä's music campus and the youth department of the Sibelius Academy.

At the last jazz club of the year, Jazz Jkl Collective and Tikkinen will interpret classics composed by the greatest masters of the bebop era, including Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Tadd Dameron, Bud Powell, and Thelonious Monk.
