UMO Helsinki Ensemble – Joy Cannon – Lunchtime concert

In this lunchtime concert, UMO Helsinki Ensemble interprets Cannonball Adderley’s (USA 1926–1975) best-known pieces from joyful and yet bluesy hard bop to soul jazz. You’ll hear Adderley’s classics such as the real soul jazz anthem Mercy, Mercy, Mercy, the elegant swing classic Jeannine and one of the most memorable blues-jazz themes, Work Song.

The program for the concert was planned by saxophonist Jouni Järvelä, who also leads the ensemble.
