Description was written before the event

Hankasalmi Jazz Club presents Jazz Jkl Collective with singer Nina Mya as soloist in September. Mya has curated the evening's programme from music and stories of her most important female vocal influences: the concert features classics made famous by Carmen McRae, Dinah Washington, Billie Holiday and Laila Kinnunen, accompanied by narratives about these singers' lives and loves.

Nina Mya (born 1989) has established her place on Finland's music scene both as an orchestra leader and guest soloist. Her expression is rooted in jazz but draws inspiration from soul and gospel. The 2012 Pori Jazz artist has released four solo albums and a joint album with UMO Helsinki Jazz Orchestra.

Jazz Jkl Collective is a Jyväskylä-based jazz quartet founded in 2018: guitarist Tuomas Paukku, Grammy-winning pianist Marian Petrescu, bassist Petri Jaakonaho and drummer Kasper Halttunen. The clubs are part of Jazz Jkl rf's activities. The association, founded in 2017, organizes jazz concerts in Jyväskylä, Keuruu, Konnevesi, Petäjävesi and Viitasaari - and now, with support from the Finnish Cultural Foundation's Central Finland fund and the municipality, also in Hankasalmi.

Tickets 15 / 10 €, supporter ticket 30 €. Registration from 4.9.2026. More information: [email protected]
