Jazz Finland Live

at 4.00pm D-Booster

Jari Perkiömäki – sax, Jarno Kukkonen – g, Jussi Fredriksson – keys, Juho Kivivuori – b, Markus Ketola – dr

D-Booster features musicians of two generations, the 60′s and the 80′s, and musically they meet in the middle. The band came together in 2010 to play Kukkonen’s 70′s style groove jazz compositions. D-Booster draw their inspiration from the era’s greatest names, such as Dave Sanborn, Freddie Hubbard and Herbie Hancock.

at 5.30pm New Garden Orchestra

Otto Eskelinen – alto sax, Konsta Eskelinen – v, Sami Sippola – ten. sax, Ville Rauhala – b, Janne Tuomi – perc

New Garden Orchestra is a refreshingly original kook in the Finnish jazz scene. The quintet released their first album ‘Le Depart’ in 2012. Their melodic and polyfonic expression is enriched with free jazz elements and global roots music.
