KARIN HAMMAR FAB 4 | Sweden

 A highly experienced musician from Sweden whose cv includes collaborations with top professional jazz bands in her home country and orchestras from the wider region such as Jazz Baltica or the Trondheim Jazz Orchestra and several German Radio Orchestras. Karin Hammar's international collaborations include Kenny Werner, Carla Bley, Tim Hagans, Steve Swallow, Gary Burton, Bob Brookmeyer, Maria Schneider and others. But her primary expressive vehicle is Fab 4, the group she formed back in 2014 based on her guitar and trombone interaction. With three albums ("Imprints", "Circles" and "Strings Attached") to its credit, the group - with the participation of guitarist Andreas Hourdakis - is one of the most creative on the contemporary Swedish jazz scene.
