The We Jazz recording artist from Brooklyn performs at Digelius Music's new venue in Helsinki 19 March, and later also in Turku, Tampere and Pori.
Chicago-born and Brooklyn-based baritone saxophonist Jonah Parzen-Johnson tours Finland for four solo concerts between 19–22 March.
“Parzen-Johnson takes deep, chest rattling sax solos that scale the same ecstatic heights as Mats Gustafsson but in a much more disciplined and mantra-like manner.” – The Wire Magazine (UK)
“With every melodious note, circular breath and heavy drone, Parzen-Johnson delivers a work of intense beauty.” – NYC Jazz Record (USA)
“A rare specialist in that most challenging of disciplines, the solo recital.” – London Jazz News (UK)
