Monday's gig at Esmaspäevaõhtune Jazziklubi at Lounge 24 on the 24th floor of the Radisson Blu Sky Hotel in Tallinn was wonderful. Here's a few photos by Rene Jakobson - view full gallery here!

Solo In Tartu & Tallinn

The Finnish gigs were a blast and the Ismo Haavisto Jubilee Orchestra will return towards the end of the month (watch out, Tampere!), but first there are two solo performances coming up in Estonia: a short set at Eesti Rahva Muuseum on Wednesday 15th and a full-length show at the Radisson Blue Sky Hotel on Monday 20th. The seats at the latter jazz club event are limited, so get your tickets here! :)

Yesterday, the annual Estonian pop music awards ceremony Kuldne Plaat/Golden Disc took place at the Kadriorg Palace in Tallinn. One of the awards was presented by Vinyl Plant and went to the Andres Roots LP "Roots Music" as "Blues Album of the Year"! Here are photo galleries of the event: Postimees (includes full-length video coverage, featuring a live performance of "Meow Meow"), Õhtuleht, ERR, Delfi, and Kuldne Plaat.
