As most of you allready know, Jazzahead! has chosen Finland as the partner country for the 2017 edition. Finland will be visible throughout the event on 27-30 April. The Finnish EJN members - Tampere Jazz Happening, Raahe Jazz on the Beach, April Jazz, Finnish Jazz Federation, Annamaija Music Company, UMO Jazz Orchestra and Flame Jazz - along with other important movers and shakers of the Finnish jazz scene will meet their international colleagues at the trade fair on the Finnish umbrella stand no 6B40. Right next to the stand is the Partner Country Lounge, offering a relaxed atmosphere for meetings and negotiations and welcoming all the delegates.
Finland presents a perfect spot for dinner, meet & greet also in between the daytime trade fair bustle and the evening showcases. Jazz aus Finnland Food Garden, right in front of Schlachthof, will feature Finnish street food, award-winning gin & tonic from Finland - and even a sauna. And when the last showcase concerts are over, the late night clubs at Schlachthof’s Magazinkeller will be filled with the Finns and their friends both on Thursday 27 April (co-organised with XJAZZ and We Jazz) and Friday 28 April (hosted by Tampere Jazz Happening). Be sure to join in for a drink and get the party started!
The highlight of the live music programme is the Finnish Night, a jury-chosen diverse selection of the top-notch jazz from the partner country. Taking place on 27 April and running on three showcase stages, the Finnish night features these eight acts:
