Jahnukaiset is a Tampere-based jazz quintet founded in 1995 - originally for a single gallery opening where clarinetist and cartoonist Jukka Tilsa was exhibiting his work. The band plays what it calls 'selkojazz' (plain-language jazz): short, cheerful swing and bebop tunes where simplicity is a feature, not a flaw. After hundreds of gigs and five albums on Hiljaiset Levyt, the group released its latest record Sivistys in April 2026, ending a decade-long gap between studio albums.
Jahnukaiset released their fifth album Sivistys on Hiljaiset Levyt on 24 April 2026, ending a decade-long gap between studio records.
The album launch gig took place at Bistro Vilja in Tampere on 24 April 2026 as part of Hiljaiset Levyt's 40th anniversary concert series.
The second single from Sivistys, 'Huomautus veneilijöille', was released ahead of the album in April 2026.
The lead single 'Batman ja Robin puistotäteinä' was released in February 2026, marking the band's return after a long recording hiatus.
Jahnukaiset's long-serving drummer Juppo Paavola died in January 2024 after a serious illness.
