RESIDENT: Henri Paul Pukk x Robin Mäetalu. Tribute to J Dilla • 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).

“Tribute to J Dilla”

Philly Joe’s residents pay homage to the legendary American producer and rapper J Dilla. The man who collaborated with many legendary artists such as Madlib, Erykah Badu, D’Angelo, etc. pushed the boundaries of hip-hop, being a true innovator and influencer of today’s music. The dance floor is open to experience and enjoy Dilla’s timeless “drunk” beats in a mix of soul, jazz and hip-hop by great musicians in a live setting. To ensure the right mood from the start, DJ Lauri Täht will be selecting records. 

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, having 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 for television shows.
