Daring trumpet virtuoso Kalevi Louhivuori, as the guest soloist with Jazz Jkl Collective, presents a tribute to the most significant and legendary musician in the history of jazz, Miles Davis.

Trumpeter, bandleader, and composer Miles Davis (1926–1991) is considered one of the key pioneers of modern jazz music. Throughout his five-decade active career, Davis was a trailblazer whose lineups always represented the forefront of the field, revolutionizing the entire genre.

Kalevi Louhivuori is one of the most internationally esteemed and well-known Finnish trumpeters. Known for his mature and distinctive sound, the multi-award-winning musician has been active in various genres over the years, serving as a bandleader, composer, and performer. Louhivuori's own bands include Sun Trio, Big Blue, and The Northern Governors. He has collaborated with artists such as Yona, Ricky-Tick Big Band, Osmo Ikonen, and Piirpauke.
