A tightly knit unit comprised of three musicians from different generations, the current iteration of Mathias Landæus’ trio have been inspiring audiences with their highly imaginative take on Scandi-jazz for over eight years now.
Based in southern Sweden the trio have become a sought after rhythm section much appreciated for their versatility and seamless interplay. Over the years Landæus Trio has performed with luminaries like Seamus Blake, Dave Douglas, Otis Sandsjö, Fredrik Ljungkvist, Rigmor Gustafsson, Lina Nyberg, Tim Hagans, Jonas Kullhammar, Goran Kajfes and many others. However, the trio’s strongest commitment have remained to their own music – and this is where their imagination and unique flavor come to full blossom, as can be heard on their new album Resilience as well as their 2022 Clean Feed album A Crisis of Perception.
