RESIDENT: Henri Paul Pukk x Robin Mäetalu. Modern Grooves • Philly Joe's Summer Residency

The Philly Joe’s Summer Residency programme provides a platform for talented young Estonian artists on the jazz scene! New ensembles, colourful programs and the opportunity to hear jazz and music with its influences from a new perspective on every concert evening - all this is offered by selected artists, week after week throughout the summer.

During July, drummer Henri Paul Pukk and guitarist Robin Mäetalu will be sharing a residency introducing new themes and collaborators each week. Their concerts will take place on Wednesdays (02.07, 09.07, 23.07 ja 30.07) and on Friday (18.07).

“Modern Grooves”

Near Motion moves to a modern groove, mixing elements of hip-hop, R&B and funk music. The band focuses on the magic of the moment where spontaneous improvisation and “mellow” rhythms take listeners on a musical journey. The band’s excellent musical cooperation and dynamic energy create a unique and lively atmosphere on stage! For this concert, Near Motion will be joined by saxophonist Uku Konsap and DJ Lauri Täht will spin just the right records between sets!

Henri Paul Pukk is a drummer, teacher and band leader who graduated from MUBA (Tallinn School of Music & Ballet) with a degree in percussion. Due to his drumming skills and versatility he is a valued musician who has collaborated with various Estonian groups (The Swingers, Funcle, etc.).

Robin Mäetalu is a bachelor's degree graduate of the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre, who previously studied at the Georg Ots Tallinn Music School. Over the years, Robin has played in several different well-known pop bands (Karl-Eric Taukar, Jüri Pootsmann, etc.) and in studio bands of television shows.
