Sail Attic Swing - Professor Cunningham and His Oldschool

Sail Attic Swing presents first time in Finland Professor Cunningham and his Old School

Get ready to experience the party of a lifetime with Sail Attic Swing and the hottest jazz band around - Professor Cunningham and his Old School! Straight from the streets of NEW YORK, they'll bring their award-winning tunes and swingin' style to Helsinki on Friday, 7th of July 2023. Whether you are a swing dancer or a traditional jazz enthusiast, this is the event you don't want to miss!

Professor Cunningham and his Old School are based in New York and perform the most swinging and grooving jazz repertoire deeply steeped in the New Orleans tradition. From early jazz to early R&B — it is one of the most sought after jazz bands on the international festival and Lindy Hop dance scene. The ensemble consists of some of the most energetic and accomplished musicians on the New York circuit, fronted by their genius vocalist and reedman Adrian Cunningham. It has been a regular hit in the NYC underground party and swing dance scene, performing to packed houses at some of the city's best swing venues (BB Kings, Cutting Room, Swing 46, The Back Room). They also performed at numerous international festivals across the globe (Melbourne International Jazz Festival, Blue Note Jazz Festival in USA, World Jam in Spain, Smokey Feet in Netherlands - to name a few). Don’t miss the chance to see them playing for the first time ever in Finland - at the Sail Attic Swing Party!

This year we will party at the most spectacular venue in the heart of Helsinki - Valkoinen Sali, a historical gem on the corner of Senate Square, opposite the Helsinki Cathedral. In 2016, the almost 100-year-old venue was restored to its original glory with great emphasis placed on the acoustics and technical capabilities. The renovation was executed to fully honour the spirit of the space with special attention paid to the elegance and charm of its original atmosphere, murals and chandeliers. In the past, Valkoinen Sali was well known for hosting some of the coolest parties in Helsinki. Join us at the coolest one yet!

Amazing concert, beautiful place, exciting competition and performances, wonderful people, bright emotions, fancy bar and summer night terrace - can you imagine a better Friday in Helsinki? Yeah, we neither. Come share this swinging jazz night of a lifetime with us!

Wait, what if I don’t dance swing yet? Not to worry! We warmly welcome you to the party, and we even have a special offer for you. For all the jazz-lovers out there, who might not feel like dancing just yet, we designed a special Spectator ticket. With this ticket you will enter the venue 30 min. before the beginning of the concert and get priority spots at the fancy balcony, which offers a perfect view of the stage and all the happening in front of it.
