Jazz Finland Live

Mikko Innanen is a saxophonist, composer and bandleader from Finland. A multifaceted and open-minded musician, he thrives in settings that span jazz’s past, present and future: be it in freely improvised solos, duos or trios, small and large ensembles playing his own compositions, or working as a sideman interpreting other people’s music. A 2022 DownBeat Rising Star, Innanen has performed in 38 countries, in five continents.

Sanni Orasmaa is a Finnish vocalist, composer, and educator whose music is rooted in improvisation, voice, and interdisciplinary expression. With a career spanning over three decades, she has performed internationally and taught jazz vocals in institutions such as the University of Music and Performing Arts Munich, Tampere University, and the Brooklyn Conservatory.
