"Radiant." If one word describes both the music and the personality of Jacob Karlzon, it's this one. He doesn't concern himself much with questions about which genre to assign his music to. He prefers to call it "improvised instrumental music" and joyfully and tastefully draws from the best of two worlds—the openness, experimentation, and energy of jazz and the power and catchiness of pop.
Jacob Karlzon
When asked about his consistently surprising sonic
landscapes, Jacob Karlzon laughs. Not ironically, but with great joy. And as
loudly and warmly as a man of his stature can laugh. "As a child and
teenager, I used to listen to a lot of metal and electro music. Even though the
music itself isn't typically for pianists, the energy it conveys, that's
something! Listening to music that you don't play yourself opens up entirely
new horizons."
Jacob Karlzon's horizon is broad indeed. The pianist,
awarded Jazz Musician of the Year in his native Sweden in 2010, loves working
with extremes.
Jacob Karlzon stops at nothing to create grand musical
landscapes through the power of his tones and sounds. He does this with his own
unique methods: both brilliant technique in playing and brilliant play with the
technique. In addition to his instrumental abilities, it's also a vivid
imagination for modern sounds that shapes his music. Jacob Karlzon creates
music for the inner film; a grand mental cinema that encompasses all genres and
emotional states – even in his concerts: "Playing live is the primal state
of music for me, I love it." With his JK3, he showcases unbridled joy of
playing without any filters.
It doesn't get any better than that.
