IMPROVISATION IS NOT A CRIME

About Me

Hi everyone !!! My name is Jupe Pohjolainen and I used to play a lot of drums... I'm still playing drums but not as much I used to do because I'm studying Cultural Management at the Humak University of Applied Science and all my time goes there. My main cultural interest is jazz music but I have also work a lot with dancers as a composer, musician and producer. I'm a producer of the new dance festival called Nuorta Verta - uuden tanssin festivaali and searching new people and interesting ways to do music and movements all the time. After all I love jazz music and contemporary dance and I'm hoping that there is a chance to work with talented and interesting musicians and dancers (YOU) around the Europe someday. No matter where you are, it's more important what you do. Just keep doing that!!!I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
