RESIDENT: Anett Tamm. New Originals ft. TamTam • 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.

August's resident is singer-songwriter Anett Tamm who will be performing with different projects and collaborators every week. The resident can be heard on Fridays throughout the month (01.08, 08.08 and 15.08).

“New Originals”

TamTam, or Anett Tamm and Karl Tammaru, is a minimalist vocal and bass duo adventuring on the border of indie jazz. TamTam's main experiment is to create full-fledged music with an airy composition and find common ground, facing the challenge of the lack of external rhythmic and harmonic support. The duo has drawn inspiration from nocturnal surrealism, 70s and 80s new wave, progressive and ethno jazz, and combines fairy-tale texts and bass hums, grooves and expressive vocals into a broad whole. TamTam has been active since 2019 and performed in jazz clubs across Estonia and at festivals such as Tudengijazz, Viljandi Rhythm Festival, Tallinn Music Week, Live at Heart (Sweden), Montello e Jazz (Italy), 12 Points and Korijazz (Finland). In the spring of 2023, the duo released a crisp, fairy-tale-like debut album, "Slumber Picture".

Anett Tamm is a versatile singer, improviser and composer who works on projects with different artistic ambitions. Anett Tamm's main active projects are alternative folk-pop solo project Alonette, indie-jazz duo TamTam with bass guitarist Karl Tammaru, and the contemporary and improvisational ensemble Anemoon. As a vocalist, Anett has previously participated in the avant-garde ensemble IHA led by Raimond Mägi and the alt-jazz ensemble The Nonconceptual Art Club. She also worked as the leader, singer and composer of the art pop band Alfa Collective from 2017 to 2022. Since 2021, Anett has collaborated with the French band David Chevallier Trio, creating the original program “Borders”, with which they toured in France, Luxembourg, Finland, Estonia and Latvia in the fall of 2024. Anett has participated in several special projects, including the ensemble Põrgutule Pärlid, Kirke Karja's program "Sireenid" (“Sirens”), Raimond Mägi's work "Purpurpunase liblika lend" (“Flight of the Purple-Red Butterfly”) and the tribute concerts "Valter Ojakäär 100". With her various ensembles, she has performed at festivals and concert venues all over Estonia and Europe. In spring 2022, Anett received the Young Jazz Talent award at the Estonian Jazz Awards.
