Known for her open-minded music-making and impressive vocals, Selma Savolainen is one of the brightest stars in Finnish jazz. Helsingin Sanomat has described her as an artist who has taken Finnish vocal jazz to a new level.

In the spring of 2026, the British Whirlwind Recordings will release the singer-composer's second album, in the shade, which takes the expression of the six-piece band led by Savolainen in a raucous and outward-looking direction. The album draws influences from early 2000s British punk and the golden age of Brazilian música popular, and the themes of the songs range from parenthood to angry men and mass hysteria.

In the shade continues the collaboration of the six-piece, familiar from the Horror Vacui album and gigs, where space is cleared for rough playing and luminous expression.

_{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.}
