Jazz Finland Live

3TM at 18:00
Producer-drummer Teppo Mäkynen's 3TM band performs music that is detached from time and space, where electronic tones mix with the sound of an acoustic jazz trio in a fresh and natural way.

KALLE KALIMA & KNUT REIERSRUD at 19:30
Kalle Kalima & Knut Reiersrud is an international band that captures with its hypnotic sound. Guitarist Kalle Kalima has a musical background in rock and jazz, while guitarist Knut Reiersrud works in blues and world music. Drummer Moritz Baumgärtner and bassist Phil Donkin are creative players with world-class experience. The different backgrounds of the players create an interesting whole, and the program on Elojazz includes both indigenous American music and classic rock songs.

PEPE WILLBERG & JUKKA SCHOOL STATEMENT at 21:00
The Saturday night of Elojazz at the Hupisaari Theater culminates in a real nostalgia experience when Pepe Willberg is seen on stage together with the top band Statement, assembled by trumpet player Jukka Eskola. In the concert, we hear a compilation of two records that have risen to the status of cult classics: "Niin vähän on aikaa" and "En soisi sen päättyvän". The songs composed for the texts of Finnish poets on the albums released in the early 1970s are the handwriting of the late Henrik Otto Donner in 2013. The collaboration between Donner and Willberg was fruitful, Pepe Willberg became Donner's credit singer and a great favorite of Finns.
