Afterwork Art is a monthly event held on the first Friday of each month at the Cultural Center Kalevan Navetta in Seinäjoki. The event aims to attract the audience to the world of culture and culinary experiences. The program for the event includes an evening brunch at the Äärellä restaurant, free entry to the Seinäjoki Art Hall, and monthly changing art and cultural programs.

On Friday, March 1, as part of the Afterwork Art event, the Ylistaron Kaukolankylä Jazz Club will contribute to the program. In the Hugo Hall at 7:00 PM, they will present melodic and primal free improvisational jazz performed by some of the top professionals in Finland. The eagerly awaited Jorma Tapio & Kaski trio will be featured. The trio has gone through various transformations in its history. "Kaski" refers to national romanticism and a hardworking, fearless people. The dynamics of the Kaski trio range from powerful energy bursts to whispers, and the ensemble's sound palette is extensive, thanks to the different wind instruments played by Jorma Tapio.

For the Seinäjoki gig, Kaski will be joined by guitarist Timo Kämäräinen, known perhaps best for his rock-oriented ventures. He excels in various styles of expression, ranging from delicate guitarism to powerful shredding. He navigates smoothly between the worlds of rock and jazz.

Jorma Tapio: saxophones, bass clarinet, flutes
Eero Tikkanen: double bass, violin
Janne Tuomi: drums, percussion, kantele
Timo Kämäräinen: guitar
