Jussi Lampela Nonet, a nine-piece of A-listing Finnish jazzers with composer-arranger Jussi Lampela at the helm, present a three-concert series at Kanneltalo this autumn. In the second concert they are joined by the master of the jazz guitar, Teemu Viinikainen.

In this concert, Jussi Lampela Nonet with Teemu Viinikainen tackle bluesy jazz standards where blues plays a role either as a structural feature or as a dominant mood. The set list includes for instance the following standards, each picked from a different era: ”St. Louis Blues”, ”Israel”, ”Mr. Syms” and ”Turnaround”.

Jussi Lampela is an acclaimed and versatile composer and arranger. His nonet was first introduced to the general audience through the release of the album Lampela X Eskola, released on Ricky-Tick Records in 2010. Trumpeter Jukka Eskola appears as a soloist on the recording. In addition to Eskola, Lampela’s long-term partners in music include Vantaan Viihdeorkesteri, UMO Jazz Orchestra, Teppo Mäkynen and Pessi Levanto.

The last concert in the Kanneltalo concert series takes place 9 December with vocalists Yona and Emma Salokoski joining the orchestra.
