At the late night jazz club the audience enjoyed skilled playing by Sonny Heinilä and Seppo Kantonen. During the six festival days will be heard many marvellous artist and ensembles, for example Jyväskylä Symphony, Helsinki Chamber Choir and UMO Jazz Orchestra. The final concert of the festival is really something to look forward. In this Frank Sinatra concert UMO plays with Sami Pitkämö who was selected to Pori Jazz’s Artist of the year.
