Fredrik Nordstrom Quintet

Last year hailed as "Swedish Jazz Artist of the Year" by the Swedish Concert Institute, Fredrik Nordström is a compelling tenor saxophonist and composer who has been making exciting music in Stockholm and elsewhere for the last decade. Primarily working within the idiom of progressive jazz- with a few perceptible nods to contemporary classical music as well as rock-Nordström puts equal emphasis on form, improvisation, and group interplay as he explores the myriad possibilities that jazz presents in our post-millennial, anything goes world. Touring with longtime bandmates Magnus Broo trumpet, Mattias Ståhl vibraphone, Filip Augustson bass, and Fredrik Rundqvist drums. “Nordström has assembled 10 compositions for quintet that confirm his status as a fearless improvisor.” – Downbeat Magazine
