Three-year-old Flame Jazz has organized over a hundred concerts at over ten stages in Turku, and there's no stopping them in 2014 either. The spring programme follows their original concept of artistic diversity and a variety of venues.
This spring the club series focuses on young jazz talent under the title "Talent Night" and celebrates also Åbo Svenska Teatern's (the Swedish Theatre of Turku) 175-year anniversary. Also the popular Flame Jazz Cruise takes off in February, featuring the soul sensation Jo Stance as the cruise's headliner among several top jazz acts.
