Concert recording of Ringa Manner, Alpo Nummelin, Valtteri Laurell Pöyhönen & UMO Helsinki Jazz Orchestra at Helsinki Festival is out on January 5 – watch a sneak peak of Toyota Celica.
The concert recording of the UMO Helsinki Jazz Orchestra, Ringa Manner, Alpo Nummelin and Valtteri Laurell Pöyhönen from the Huvila tent of the Helsinki Festival from August 2022 will be published on Thursday, January 5. The recording will be published on the UMO Helsinki Jazz Orchestra’s website, mobile application and YouTube channel. The concert recording is free, but you can buy a 5/10/15 € ticket at UMO’s channels to support the orchestra. The on-demand of the concert will be available until further notice.
The Toyota Celica clip is already available on UMO’s YouTube channel (composition & lyrics Alpo Nummelin, Lauri Levola, Miikka Koivisto, Ringa Manner, Samuli Kukkola, arrangement Valtteri Laurell Pöyhönen).
The concert will feature songs from Ringa Manner’s solo project The Hearing and the Ruusut band as new and fresh arrangements for the UMO Helsinki Jazz Orchestra. Electronics, effects and improvisations mixed with a classic big band sound give Ringa Manner’s electropop its distinct colour. Percussion wizard Alpo Nummelin masters the electrosounds. The orchestra is led by Valtteri Laurell Pöyhönen, who also wrote half of the arrangements.
The concert recording is produced by the digital team of UMO Helsinki Jazz Orchestra.
