Emil Brandqvist Trio

In September 2023, Emil Brandqvist Trio took over the Stenhammar Hall in the Gothenburg Concert Hall and made the room vibrate with a fantastic atmosphere and music.

With over 25 million streams on Spotify, brilliant reviews and notable concerts at festivals and clubs across Europe and with their atmospheric and melodic jazz, Emil Brandqvist Trio has established itself at the top of the international jazz scene. 

 As a composer, drummer Emil Brandqvist Trio puts the melody first. With that as a starting point, he creates an expression that in mood and tone bears traces of folk music as well as classical music – and bears witness to the organic interplay he has forged with pianist Tuomas Turunen and bassist Max Thornberg. Here they offer a tonal landscape that is as detailed as it is consistent and varied, restful as it is energizing, a precise jazz without role models, just their own. 

Recorded for GSOplay in Gothenburg Concert Hall in September 2023.
