In the organizer's words:

Iiro Rantala TRINITY

The piano trio is one of the classic jazz formations - and with TRINITY, Iiro Rantala devotes himself entirely to the core repertoire for the first time: the standards from the Great American Songbook. Rantala is an internationally acclaimed pianist who shines with virtuosity and humor in both improvised and composed music. Drum legend Morten Lund learned to swing with giants such as Dexter Gordon and Stan Getz, while Kaisa Mäensivu is a permanent fixture in New York with her imaginative playing. The approach: no elaborate arrangements, no intellectual experimentation - just a clear focus on the essence of the song. In this way, every standard becomes a timeless narrative and a playground for emphatic, effortless interplay.

The Billy Cobham 5tet

Billy Cobham is a living legend. He combined the power of rock with the freedom of jazz and influenced generations of musicians. After early stints with Miles Davis and Horace Silver, as a founding member of John McLaughlin's Mahavishnu Orchestra he was part of one of the most influential bands of the 1970s; his debut album Spectrum is still considered a fusion milestone today. Over 30 albums, countless tours and projects with artists from all over the world bear witness to his unbridled creative energy. With his current quintet, Cobham looks back on over five decades of music-making - as a "mirror of his musical journeys", as he says. The result: a pulsating dialog between generations, band and audience - open, energetic and full of the present.
