Exceptional: Right from the start, the lineup grabs your attention: saxophone, acoustic guitar, and electric guitar. Elegiac soundscapes are unfolded, with a Finnish melancholic but always hopeful mood. The music draws its strength from tranquility. Its significance isn't measured by how loudly it's shouted. "Invisible Man" is an atmospheric road movie in which strong melodies dictate the plot. Entertaining, gripping, profound, and contemplative, Avara evokes deep emotions.
Jukka Perko
Jukka Perko is considered one of the stars of the Finnish
jazz scene.
Perko's personal style reflects European classical music,
Afro-American jazz, and Finnish folk music. Born in 1968 in the town of
Huittinen in Southwest Finland, Perko received comprehensive training covering
all genres of music.
In 1986, at the age of 18, Perko won the prestigious Key
Prize for Best Young Jazz Musician at the Pori Jazz Festival. He later toured
Europe and the USA as a member of the "Dizzy Gillespie 70th Anniversary
Big Band."
He has played with stars such as McCoy Tyner, Red Rodney,
and Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen, working as a sideman, and he was a member of
the UMO Jazz Orchestra, one of Finland's finest and most well-known large
ensembles.
