TD JazzFest ’24 Presents: Konrad Agnas Quartet

Event Description

Swedish drummer Konrad Agnas unites collage-like compositions of hip-hop fantasias and spiritual jazz a lá Alice Coltrane with a framework inspired by the minimalism of Terry Riley and Moondogs. With equal parts precision and feeling, the compositions are interwoven by his innovative and distinct drumming style.

The group has developed their very own music based on an almost telepathic approach to interaction, improvisation, and composition. With three albums released, the Konrad Agnas Quartet have made success at concert halls all over Europe, summer festivals, and smaller jazz clubs around the Swedish countryside and in collaboration with classical ensembles like O/Modernt and Stockholm Chamber Brass, as well as artists like Nils Landgren and Pat Metheny. Per Texas Johansson saxophone/clarinet/flutes, Johan Graden piano, Torbjörn Kansan Zetterberg bass
