Mikko Innanen is a saxophonist, composer and bandleader from Finland. A multifaceted and open-minded musician, he thrives in settings that span jazz’s past, present and future: be it in freely improvised solos, duos or trios, small and large ensembles playing his own compositions, or working as a sideman interpreting other people’s music. A 2022 DownBeat Rising Star, Innanen has performed in 38 countries, in five continents.
Sanni Orasmaa is a Finnish vocalist, composer, and educator whose music is rooted in improvisation, voice, and interdisciplinary expression.

Jazz in Finland 100
In 2026, it will be 100 years since jazz symbolically arrived in Finland aboard the ship *Andania*. The year is therefore a historic anniversary for Finnish jazz: the Jazz Suomi 100 celebratory year. The anniversary highlights Finnish jazz and its creators both in Finland and abroad, celebrating jazz as part of Finland’s cultural heritage. The Jazz Suomi 100 campaign is coordinated by the Finnish Jazz Federation.
