ERICSON / LANDÆUS / NÄSTESJÖ / BERRE (NO/SE) at Christianias Børneteater

ERICSON / LANDÆUS / NÄSTESJÖ / BERRE (NO/SE)

With 9 international tours over the last six years and concerts at Copenhagen Jazz Festival, BlowOut in Oslo and Fem Jazz Festival in Banyoles, the trio Ericson/Nästesjö/Berre has begun to attract attention around Scandinavia and Europe. The group consists of Sture Ericson (SE) - saxophones and clarinet, Johannes Nästesjö (SE) - bass and Håkon Berre (NO) - drums. Ericson and Berre, both based in Copenhagen, have worked together in different constellations in recent years, e.g. the Maria Faust Jazz Catastrophe. In the autumn of 2014, they met bassist Johannes Nästesjö from Malmö and formed the trio ENB. Based on saxophone, clarinet, bass and drums, as well as various objects and preparations, the trio explores different aspects of free improvisation. This has resulted in a varied soundscape with a wide range of influences ranging from improvisations focusing on tonal textures, to pitch-related linear playing with relations to the free jazz- and jazz tradition. The trio released their debut-CD “Ausfahrt Freihalten!” on Barefoot Records in March 2019, receiving brilliant receptions from the press....

The trio released their debut-CD “Ausfahrt Freihalten!” on Barefoot Records in March 2019, receiving brilliant receptions from the press.

This evening the trio will join forces on stage with the notoriously playful pianist and composer Mathias Landæus from Sweden.

Landæus has released twenty albums as a leader on labels like Moserobie, Clean Feed, Prophone, Amigo and others. He lived in New York in the 1990's, where he studied with Jaki Byard and Richie Beirach, among others. After returning to Sweden he became an important figure on the Stockholm jazz scene. In addition to his inspiring work as a composer and musician, he has had a crucial role in building community by starting live scenes like the influential Glenn Miller Café in Stockholm, and the ongoing club Underground in southern Sweden, which he has been curating since 2010. Recently he has initiated the musicians’ network ”Jazz for Climate Justice”. His lyrical touch and original quirky style has earned him a reputation as a world class jazz pianist and improviser. Through the years Landæus has collaborated with numerous artists, continuously expanding his horizon and exploring new expressions. As a composer, visionary leader and master collaborator, his work celebrates connection, imagination and freedom.
