The Saturday night extravaganza at the old powerplant area Suvilahti will showcase many shades of current jazz music and then some.

Teppo Mäkynen’s trio formation 3TM will present their fresh new and AWESOME We Jazz Records album “Lake”, UK DIY kings of intense groove-based jazz, Ill Considered, make their Finnish debut, as will do Belgium’s MDCIII, a hard-hitting group of reeds man Mattias De Craene plus two drummers. Heavy!
Hubro Music recording artists Hilde Marie Holsen presents her album “Lazuli”, which is some beautiful ambient-sounding meditative jazz. Dutch underground legend Ronald Langestraat visits with his four-piece band. Check out his releases on Amsterdam’s South Of North label, who’s DJs will also be joining in on the fun.
At the Mittarikorjaamo room, one of our absolute favourite bands VIRTA hosts their festival-within-the-festival, VIRTA Festival, the contents of which remain a secret even to the We Jazz people at the time of writing.
Our goal is to walk away into the pitch black December night after this event thoroughly inspired and we wish the same for you.
Please note that the age limit for this event is 18.

VIRTA Festival
We Jazz 2019 -festivaaliviikko kulminoituu Suvilahdessa kotimaisten ja kansainvälisten huippuartistien iltaan. Lauantai-illan jazzmarathon on väkevä kattaus mielenliikutusta aiheuttavaa jazzmusiikkia vuonna 2019. Usealla illan yhtyeistä on hyvin nykyaikainen, jopa aikaansa edellä oleva ote siihen, miltä jazz voisi kuulostaa nyt ja kohta. Luvassa on erilaisia soundeja suloisessa ja inspiroivassa musiikkisopassa, joka tarjoaa erinomaisen mahdollisuuden tutustua tämän päivän jazzin skaalaan.
Ikäraja 18v.
