Jazz Finland Live

Tickets 22 €

Founded in 2016, Tuomas Paukku Scription represents a strong and distinctive voice in Finnish contemporary jazz. Having released its second album in 2023, the ensemble performs the original, tightly woven compositions of guitarist Tuomas Paukku with compelling dedication.

Scription’s style is rooted in modern jazz impressionism and post-bop, while continuously discovering new nuances and perspectives from the outer edges of jazz expression. Paukku’s open-minded interest in multiple musical genres shines through with both subtlety and explosive energy. The music’s rugged Scandinavian atmospheres and its dynamically unfolding sense of tension have moved audiences well beyond traditional genre boundaries.

_{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.}
