Neo-jazz keyboardist Jakob Magnusson joins us for a listen to his new album of jazz from the future
REYKJAVIK, ICELAND: neo-jazz keyboardist Jakob Magnusson has lived many lives that are a confluence of extraordinary musical talent, TV & film production work, environmental activism, and even a stint as the cultural attaché of the Icelandic embassy in London.
His new musical project, Jack Magnet Science, is the latest endeavor in his rolodex of multi-hyphenism.
The project is an amalgamation of members of the prolific Icelandic band Stuðmenn, which he co-founded, and top-call US-based jazz titans such as Peter Erskine (Weather Report) and Matthew Garrison (Shapeshifter).
The future-forward ensemble has released their debut album, Future Forecast via Floki Studios.
Let's welcome Jakob to our show!
