Verneri Pohjola Quartet
Trumpeter/composer Verneri Pohjola is a key artist in the lore of Finnish jazz. His recordings for various internationally lauded labels, most recently for Edition, and his classical work performing Kaija Saariaho’s last major work “Hush” have made Pohjola a frequent visitor in the most sought-after international stages. Now, his quartet – a core vessel for his own music, appears in Helsinki and at Väreet, promising a memorable night of highly personal contemporary jazz music.
