Event Description
Håkan Broström is a renowned Swedish saxophonist, composer, and arranger celebrated for his significant contributions to jazz and contemporary music.
Already at the age of 8, Hakan began to play the piano, and when he was 15, he started playing tenor saxophone and Gute. One year later, he was playing alto saxophone in different blues bands in Motala and baritone sax with the Motala Big Band.
Over the years, Broström has led several quartets, collaborating with notable musicians such as Bobo Stenson, Esbjörn Svensson, Palle Danielsson and Jacob Karlzon. He also led a quartet featuring American pianist Joey Calderazzo and, on occasion, drummer Jeff "Tain" Watts. As a sideman, Broström has worked with prominent artists like Eje Thelin, Ulf Wakenius and Swedish music icon Peps Persson.
Håkan Broström expanded his creative pursuits by forming his own big band, the New Places Orchestra. This endeavor showcased his talent for blending traditional and modern jazz elements. He also collaborated with prominent Swedish artists, including Viktoria Tolstoy, Tommy Körberg and Ebbot Lundberg further solidifying his reputation as a versatile and innovative musician.
For this special outing at Scott’s Jazz Club, Håkan will be joined by the Scott’s Jazz Club house band of Scott Flanigan, piano; Rohan Armstrong, bass; James Anderson, drums.
