Turku Jazz Festival, which started in 1969, once again brings light and joy to the spring and winter with a wonderful artist line-up. The series of living jazz legends will be continued by the master of both contrabass and electric bass, Dave Holland, and trumpeter Mikko Gunu Karjalainen, Turku Jazz's artist of the year, will join forces with a trio led by New York phonist Seamus Blake and Swedish pianist Mathias Landæus.
