New Jazz of Finland 2025
Dark November nights call for warm sounds and creative energy — and what better way to light up your weekend than with two nights of fresh Finnish jazz? This autumn, FinnAgora once again has the pleasure to invite you to enjoy New Jazz from Finland at the Opus Jazz club- This time, through the tunes of Kannaste4 and Pauli Lyytinen.
The concerts take place on the 7th and 8th of November.
Kannaste 4 - 7th November, 20.00
Featuring:
Jussi Kannaste - tenor saxophone
Tomi Nikku - trumpet
Johnny Åman - double bass
Joonas Riippa - drums
Helsinki tenor saxophonist Jussi Kannaste's debut album as a band leader has been a long time coming. A top musician in the local scene revered by his contemporaries and sought after as a band member, Kannaste released his new work Out Of Self and Into Others on We Jazz Records. His quartet, Kannaste4 features an all original program penned by Kannaste. His music is highly personal contemporary jazz leaning into modes of avant-garde expression. At times quiet as a whisper, at times fiery and swinging, Out Of Self and Into Others is a product of a deep marinade, a debut album that feels like much more than "just" that.

Pauli Lyytinen - 8th November, 20.00
Featuring:
Pauli Lyytinen - tenor, soprano and alto saxophone, live effects, mellotron, percussion
Finnish saxophonist Pauli Lyytinen made his We Jazz solo debut with Lehto / Korpi, a widescreen environmental jazz ambient album effortlessly bringing together Lyytinen's instrumentation, field recordings and extended instrumentation. Lyytinen's solo music is built on textural compositions, extended saxophone techniques and electro-acoustic soundscapes and layers. Think albums like Evan Parker's With Birds and Schwarzwaldfahrt by Brötzmann/Bennink but with a whole other world of sounds to work with. Lyytinen's work is rooted in his native Finland's nature, finding its groove where the indoors and the outdoors meet (Excert from opuzjazzclub.hu)
