Finland’s premier big band gets a visit from top Danish drummer.
UMO Helsinki Jazz Orchestra joins forces with Danish drummer Stefan Pasborg to present creative interpretations of Igor Stravinsky’s best known works The Rite of Spring and The Firebird. Written originally for a small combo, Pasborg’s reimaginations of Stravinsky’s music get fleshed out with all the texture, nuance and firepower a first class jazz orchestra can offer.
