Espoo Big Band

**Espoo Big Band** is a vibrant jazz orchestra hailing from Espoo, Finland, known for keeping the big band tradition alive with a distinct Nordic twist. Since their formation, this energetic ensemble has built a reputation for blending classic swing with modern jazz experimentation, often collaborating with top Finnish composers and international artists. Their discography showcases both original works like the cinematic *Espoo Suite* and *Lauma* (inspired by Finnish folklore) and spirited tributes, including live renditions of Carla Bley’s compositions and Pekka Pohjola’s *Yesterday’s Games*. With releases like *Live in Australia* and *Neandertal Grooves*, they prove their versatility, balancing groove-driven innovation with nods to jazz history. Whether delivering festive cheer on *Merry, Merry Christmas* or exploring moody textures on *Blood Red*, the band’s live energy and commitment to Finnish musical storytelling shine through every note.
