About this event
Jazz-Espa's Thursday bill surveys where Finnish jazz is heading. Drummer Veikka Kajamies, winner of the Finnish Jazz Federation's 2025 Taimi Award for young talent, opens with a trio rooted in swinging improvisation; saxophonist Heli Hartikainen follows; and guitarist Olli Soikkeli's Django Trio closes with gypsy-jazz fireworks. All of it on the open-air bandstand in Esplanadi Park.
Why we picked it
Three sets of genuinely top-tier Finnish jazz on a park bandstand in the middle of Helsinki, at no cost.
