Don Johnson Big Band [Helsinki, Finland] »
Performing 22.45 - 23.45 at Main hall
Don Johnson Big Band are definitely the music phenomenon of 2003 in Finland.
Imagine an uncompromising underground favourite – a cross between, say, Amon Tobin and The Roots. Then imagine that same artist storming the charts like a tornado. This is effectively what Don Johnson Big Band have done, leaving followers of the Finnish music scene charmed and awestruck.
Their brand new album ‘Breaking Daylight’ entered at #1 in the charts, staying at the top for three weeks, and was soon certified gold status. The lead-off single ‘One MC, One Delay’ went straight to #2 and has stayed near the top since. It also crept to the top in the Finnish Dance Chart going to #1 in its fourth week in the chart – and the song just won’t let go of the top spot!
Don Johnson Big Band are a bona fide phenomenon in Finland, a true crossover artist breaking radio and genre barriers while receiving rave reviews from the press. Not bad for what – with only four members – might be the world’s smallest big band, in a country where English-language hip-hop has never been a dominant chart force.
