Jazz Jkl Collective will perform at Saturday's jazz club in Poppari on September 12 in the spirit of the partnership between guitarist Wes Montgomery and pianist Wynton Kelly. This time, the band's own soloists, guitarist Tuomas Paukku and pianist Marian Petrescu are in the spotlight at the club.
Pauli Lyytinen Magnetia Orkesteri will perform at Restaurant Poppari on Thursday 24.9. The highly improvising line-up has recently released its second album, and accompanied by a release tour, the band will finally reveal the full spectrum of their colorful emotional scale in Jyväskylä as well. Saxophonist Pauli Lyytinen is one of Finland's boldest and most unique jazz musicians. Verneri Pohjola, one of the most internationally acclaimed Finnish trumpet players, Eero Tikkanen, a bassist known from the Mopo band, and Mika Kallio, a drummer with his own elegance, will play with Lyytinen in the top line-up.
