The top name of Finnish jazz, Jukka Perko who learned the ropes in Dizzy Gillespie's orchestra, returns to the swing era in a set that contains evergreen tunes sung in Finnish and played in English! The soloist is Jay Kortehisto known from many popular Finnish groups, including Jean S., Ricky Tick Big Band and Sunrise Avenue.
In this jazz band of a traditional composition Perko and Kortehisto, accompanied by a trio of piano, bass and percussions, create an edgy swing. They will offer the much-in-demand type of old time jazz played with a traditional recipe, joyfully and perhaps even a bit tongue in cheek!
