The Saturday night at Ääniwalli is a festival within a festival. Binker And Moses show what the best jazz from the UK sounds like right now. The likes of Gilles Peterson and Jools Holland are already hip to this. Teppo Mäkynen’s 3TM will celebrate their new release on We Jazz Records. Teppo’s music is something in between acoustic jazz and experimental electronic music. Mopo is one of our favourite bands and it’s a thrill to have them perform their upcoming album in its entirety, wow. Drummer-composer Olavi Louhivuori releases the first of his five “Immediate Music” albums now, the rest will come out annually 2018-2021. Five years, five albums. VIRTA is one of those groups who have entirely their own sound. Is it post jazz? Who cares, it’s great! We Jazz DJs and DJ Lander Lenaerts stack up the wax, so you’ll be hearing the best jazz ever put on record.
We Jazz festival presents a selection of the best contemporary jazz bringing both foreign and domestic artists to perform in Helsinki December 3rd to 12th. Check out the program and info: wejazz.fi/2017
