Jonathan Bäckström Quartet is an acoustic improvising quartet based in Helsinki with members from Finland and Sweden. Bassist-composer Jonathan Bäckström leads the quartet with musicians from Finland and Sweden and they are set on a mission to navigate and discover the music that is being created in the moment.

The quartet’s expression consists of minimalistic landscapes and explosive, multi layered free improvisation and is the result of each musician bringing their individual voices to create a strong, collective statement. The album JBQ highlights Bäckström’s body of work from 2019 to 2022 and also includes one composition from alto saxophonist Marcus Wärnheim.
