Jyväskylä Big Band feat. Jorma Kalevi Louhivuori (trumpet)Tickets: 15/10 €Pre-tickets available on tiketti.fi
Jyväskylä Big Band will be joined by virtuoso trumpeter Jorma Kalevi Louhivuori -- himself a Jyväskylä native -- at Siltasali on 11 October. The concert is conducted by Ilkka Mäkitalo and it features the soloist's original compositions, seasoned with his distinctive, captivating trumpetism.

He has also been a major force in indie/folk/pop artist Yona's orchestra Liikkuvat Pilvet. Young but experienced, he has already collaborated with such giants as Sean Jones, Bob Mintzer and Dave Liebman and released five albums on the Italo-American label CAM Jazz....
