“The Finnish Jazz Federation is the most active and influential jazz organization in Finland and is an ideal partner for Jazz Near You's event aggregation and redistribution program," stated Jazz Near You Founder, Michael Ricci. “Through our collaboration, we have successfully imported 200 Finnish venues, 40 Finnish festivals, and regularly import new Finnish jazz events daily."

Continued Ricci, “Our goal was to make it more convenient for travelers to find the best Finnish jazz events through Jazz Near You, and partnering with the Finnish Jazz Federation has made that possible."

Maati Rehor, director of the Finnish Jazz Federation said, “We embarked on creating a comprehensive database covering Finnish jazz in 2012. The resultant Jazz Finland website was launched in 2013, and partnering with Jazz Near You is a logical next step as we export Finnish jazz events and jazz culture to the world."
