Jacob Karlzon

Gig Performer in Action
1

Swedish jazz pianist and composer Jacob Karlzon has been compared to luminaries such as Keith Jarrett, Bill Evans and Sweden’s own legendary Jan Johansson.

Karlzon’s playing style oozes technical brilliance, rhythmic and harmonic complexity with a perfect feeling for form. Karlzon describes what drives him:

We are a modern people with a long history, and it is precisely this which I want to reflect in my music. I am fascinated with the possibilities of new technologies but I also need warmth and a connection with the earth in order to feel happy.

Just discovered this on Jacob’s blog:

I had such a nice time talking to Gig Performer’s Brett Pontecorvo!

The live performance host Gig Performer is such a great, open and dynamic platform that is just truly inspiring to work with. My vision has always been to seamlessly blend the acoustic and electronic worlds, wiping out the borders between them. I find Gig Performer to be a very good way to work with soundscapes and textures in my music.

Using Gig Performer feels pretty much like when you were a kid, building LEGO. You just let your imagination take you places and you built what you felt like building as you went along.
