Sweden’s celebrated Erik Palmberg Quartet is set to bring its evocative and cinematic jazz to Scotland this year, following the acclaimed release of their latest album Faces (Prophone, 2024). With glowing international reviews and the honour of winning the readers poll for Sweden’s prestigious Gyllene Skivan, the group continues to captivate audiences well beyond traditional jazz circles. With a reputation for connecting with audiences through heartfelt performance and melodic storytelling, the Erik Palmberg Quartet promises a moving and memorable experience for jazz fans and newcomers alike.
Led by trumpeter and flugelhorn player Erik Palmberg, the quartet has become one of the most compelling and sought-after jazz ensembles in Sweden. Known for their lyrical, expressive style and striking interplay, the group seamlessly blends original compositions with fresh interpretations of jazz standards.
The quartet has performed extensively across Sweden and is now set to share their sound with Scottish audiences, performing music from Faces alongside new arrangements of classic standards. Their music has been featured on major radio stations including BBC, RTBF (Belgium), Danish DR, Finnish Yle, Polish RDC, and Sveriges Radio P2.
Faces has resonated deeply with listeners and critics alike, earning praise such as:
“Faces is a triumph of jazz expressionism.”

“The quartet shifts effortlessly between dynamic, creative interplay and powerful solo moments. There’s a contagious generosity among the musicians that makes their contemporary, personal jazz a joy to experience.”
