Tampere Jazz Happening 2025
The 44th International Jazz Happening took place last weekend, filled with joy, reunions with old and new friends, and plenty of great music. This year, we had the incredible honor of both opening and closing the festival with performances by Mustik Motel artists.

Way To reviews and features
Eero’s debut has been well received! It’s incredible to think that Kulttuuritoimitus awarded the album a five-star rating on the very day it was released!
