Jazz Finland Live

Tickets 22€

Olli Soikkeli has risen to become one of the world’s most highly regarded gypsy jazz guitarists. Having lived in New York for over ten years, Soikkeli has performed alongside the genre’s top international artists at jazz clubs and festivals throughout Europe and the United States.

Now he appears in Finland together with a master of the style, Paulus Schäfer. Olli and Paulus have been performing together since 2012, and the duo has released two albums. On bass in the trio is the outstanding Joonas Tuuri.

The Kajaani concert is part of Soikkeli’s Comeback album release tour in Finland.

_{In 2026, it will be 100 years since jazz symbolically arrived in Finland with the ship Andania. The year thus marks a historic centenary celebration for Finnish jazz: Jazz in Finland 100. The anniversary highlights Finnish jazz and its artists both in Finland and abroad, celebrating jazz as part of Finland’s cultural heritage. The Jazz in Finland 100 campaign is coordinated by the Finnish Jazz Federation.}
