Thomas Markusson Open

Thomas Markusson (double bass), is a respected member of the jazz community who regularly graces stages throughout Europe and in Japan. He has toured with Lee Konitz, Chris Cheek, Daniel Fredar Trio, Walter Lang Trio, Stefan Forssén Trio, Corpo and many others. Thomas Markusson Open is, however, the first album with this stellar constellation.

The amazing Naoko Sakata brings her piano with great sensitivity and energy. This young musician has already made a substantial impression on the jazz world with her personal style. The same is true for drummer Cornelia Nilsson, representing a new generation of talented jazz musicians, highly appreciated by the Swedish press.

A legend on the European jazz scene, Staffan Svensson (trumpet) doesn’t really need a presentation, not after all those collaborations with groups such as Entra, Surge, and Oslo 13 along with 60 albums – what more can we say?
