ACT

Jacob Karlzon / piano, keys, synths & programming<br/>Hans Andersson / bass<br/>Robert Mehmet Ikiz / drums<br/><br/>Unmistakably now one of the best pianists in Europe, Jacob Karlzon's music and personality are possessed of a radiance and vitality that has won audiences worldwide.<br/><br/>But Karlzon wants more - in terms of sound, composition and concept - and doesn't really care much for categories and genre-labeling. Instead, Karlzon chooses to draw tastefully and fervently from the best of two worlds - the openness, curiosity and energy of jazz, and the power, catchiness and the production techniques of pop.<br/><br/><br/>.
