About
Malin Wättring is one of Sweden's emerging great young saxophonists.
She released Glöd, her critically acclaimed debut album and has been establishing a growing reputation as a major player in Nordic jazz. Live, the Malin Wättring 4’s performance can run the gamut from fragile to incandescent, from menacing to tender and beautiful.
