Kullhammar/Obara/Vågan/Mjåset Johansen

World premiere at Fasching for new European quartet bursting with innovative jazz with raw energy and lyrical finesse.

Four of Europe’s top jazz musicians make their world premiere at Fasching. Saxophonists Jonas Kullhammar and Maciej Obara, bassist Ole Morten Vågan, and drummer Håkon Mjåset Johansen fuse Nordic and European jazz traditions in an electrifying interplay of energy, spontaneity, and melodic sharpness.
Kullhammar is one of Sweden’s most celebrated saxophonists, while Obara has earned critical acclaim on ECM for his distinct sound. Vågan, artistic director of Trondheim Jazz Orchestra, has played with icons like Scofield and Redman. Johansen, a rhythmic powerhouse, has collaborated with Chick Corea and Jason Moran.

This concert isn’t just a debut—it’s a preview of their upcoming album. Witnessing a world premiere in Fasching’s intimate, charged setting is a rare opportunity.
