Kymppiklubi: Koippa!,Kirjasto 10, helsinki19.2. At 17:00

Saxophonist Eero "Koippa" Koivistoinen has been one of the major forces of Finnish jazz for decades. To celebrate his upcocming album, Koippa brings his quartet to Kirjasto 10 to play not one but two sets! Koivistoinen's crew includes pianist Alexi Tuomarila, bassist Jori Huhtala, and drummer Jussi Lehtonen, who appear also on the new album, entitled Hati Hati. The audience of Kirjasto 10 will have a unique chance to get their hands on the new album, eight days before its official release.

The event is dedicated not only to the new album, but to Koivistoinen and his long career in general. In addition to two sets of live music, we are in for an interview with the man himself, and a screening of film "What Is This?" (2002) which is directed by Anssi Mänttäri and includes material from different points of Koivistoinen's career. There will also be a photo exhibition, which tells Koivistoinen's story by visual means.
