Something Else is a concert series for improvised music focused on new meetings of musicians from across Helsinki’s experimental, jazz, & global music scenes.

v8 of Something Else features musicians Heli Hartikainen (reeds) and Hadi Hrekes (percussion), both of whom are making waves in their respective fields of jazz & improvised music, and Middle Eastern percussion & cross-genre collaborations. What happens when this comes together in a first time trio meeting of Hartikainen, Hrekes, and Wilson Tanner Smith (cello) at 8th edition of Something Else?

Something Else is  hosted on the 4th Thursday of each month at Kallio’s Musta Kissa bar. New small-ensemble groupings are highlighted each time, with an emphasis on surprise, difference, curiosity, energy, and connection. Curated/hosted by Wilson Tanner Smith.
