What We Learned From Finland
“What We Learned From…” will be a new feature promoting bands who have come to Shanghai in association with the Expo. Now that all of our great venues are intact and countries are bringing their musical talent here to share, we thought it appropriate to document that process, week by week, country by country. This week we were invaded by Finland.

One cool thing about the Expo so far is that different countries have been taking turns taking over the city, one week at a time. This week it’s Finland, but that’s not to say there isn’t local flavor going on at the same time.

I defy Dan Shapiro. Though of course the expo could have more awesome music, there’s definitely more awesome stuff than usual, and now that it seems no clubs are getting shut, the only lame thing about it (musically, anyway. I can relate to the idea that it’s too much money to spend on this kind of thing) is that Topfloor Circus got shut down. I mean, as wrong as that is, I’ll take Herbie Hancock and Cafe Tacvba.

Get it! Ha ha. Anyway, I’m underwater with busy-ness, but here’s what my pick for tonight would be, as well as other news and stuff from the general Shanghai jazziverse. The rest of the picks will be up soon.

This will be a rollicking weekend, though sadly I will be rollicking on another continent. Classic invader countries/people Finland and Mongolia send dudes, as do the 20th century experts who brought us a newer, subtler, but unmistakably invasive kind of invasion: the USA and USSR. Man the barricades!

Well that was a nice little rest, wasn’t it? I did almost nothing for the past few days except eat, sleep, and look at fireworks. I also did some drinking. Anyway, vacation is over now and the party must continue! It will be a gradual acceleration for the next week or so though, as YYT remains closed and other happenings are mostly subdued.

Modern, live music to inhale this weekend, for people who like inhaling modern, live music. And traditional Guinean rhythms.
