Så er salt peanuts* straks på vei fra Umeå med ferge til Vasa, før vi reiser med tog gjennom Finland ned til Tampere. For nå er alt klart for Tampere Jazz Happening. Og, som alltid, er dette en god fortsettelse på festivalen i Umeå weekenden før. I år går festivalen fra torsdag 31. oktober til søndag 3. november. Og for den som virkelig vil få fylt opp «tanken» før vinterdvalen, er det bare å sette av en langweekend i «Mumie»-hovedstaden.
Tampere Jazz Happeing har, helt siden salt peanuts* sin barndom, vært en av våre favorittfestivaler, så får vi se om de klarer å iinnfri og lage noen dager med strålende jazz også i år.. og at salt peanuts* kan være en av de få utenlandske medier som dekker feestivalen med daglige rapporter.
