Jazz Finland Live

Tickets 20€/15€

Jonathan Bäckström Quartet has become a mainstay in the free jazz community in Finland. The band has toured actively since it was formed in 2020 and has played several sold out concerts in clubs around Finland. 

The band’s repertoire primarily consists of original compositions by Bäckström. The music moves somewhere between free jazz and “creative music” with free improvisation as the common denominator. The band released their debut album “JBQ” in 2024.

_{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.}
