In the second half of November the Vapaat äänet tour serves bursts of French-Belgian-Finnish power jazz.
Two wild trios will hit the road, and at the end of the gigs, they will merge into a previously unheard quintet. The Pohjola – Tikkanen – Darrifourcq trio will be heard at the beginning of the tour in three own concerts on November 17–19 in Jokioinen, Porvoo and Seinäjoki. Both trios will perform on November 21–27 in Helsinki, Tampere, Oulu, Raahe, Savonlinna, Joensuu and Loviisa. This is the 34th tour that Vapaat äänet and the Finnish Jazz Federation have produced together since 1996.
