Jazz Finland Live

Kaiunsäde plays music written by Joose Ojala and Helena Taskila. The digital release of the group’s debut album Taival will be available on streaming services on 4 June 2025. Kaiunsäde’s expression is a melodic and lyrical style of composition, which blends the harmonies of jazz and easy listening music. The crowning touch is the pan flute played by Helena Taskila. Kaiunsäde’s music is repeatedly described as being cinematic. This is a great honour to the main composer of the band, Joose Ojala, who has been blind since birth and has only seen a handful of films.

Helena Taskila, pan flute

_{In 2026, it will be 100 years since jazz symbolically arrived in Finland with the ship Andania. The year thus marks a historic centenary celebration for Finnish jazz: Jazz in Finland 100. The anniversary highlights Finnish jazz and its artists both in Finland and abroad, celebrating jazz as part of Finland’s cultural heritage. The Jazz in Finland 100 campaign is coordinated by the Finnish Jazz Federation.}
