At Tuulensuu Palace, a festive ball will take place to the rhythm of vintage jazz, featuring saxophonist Jukka Perko, the magnificent Jay Kortehisto, and their band. Guests are welcome to dress in theme for this lively jazz event, and dazzling lindy hop dancing will be showcased. Before the dance, a delicious three-course Show & Dinner menu will be served in the hall. Under 18s may attend when accompanied by an adult.

What is the true essence of jazz? A swinging groove, a feeling, or a smoky sound?
There is no single right answer. But Jay Kortehisto and the band explore the question by performing classic American evergreen tunes from the 1930s–1940s as if they were their own—offering the answer that jazz is joy, swing, dance, shared exploration and discovery, and above all, sharing all of this with the audience.
