Two years after the release of her latest album the widely critically acclaimed Imprints Karin Hammar now releases her new album Circles. Like last time, Hammar works with her group Karin Hammar Fab 4 to help her shape 8 new compositions and an interpretation of Nina Simones Four Women into her own musical landscape. The new compositions draw inspiration from such diverse encounters and places: Brazil, Morrocco, her daughter Ella, fellow musician Hildegunn Öiseth, to name a few. The title track was written in a small compartment backstage at Malmö Arena in Sweden prior to a show with Swedish pop star Orup. The Karin Hammar Fab 4 line up includes some of Swedens finest jazz players: Niklas Fernqvist on bass, Fredrik Rundqvist on drums and new member, guitarist, Andreas Hourdakis who brings a new form, shape, and level to the groups sound. 

Karin Hammar is widely seen as one of Swedens foremost trombone players, with four studio albums as a solo artist and numerous collaborations under her belt since debuting in the nineties. Shes been given numerous awards in Sweden, including a prize from the Alice Babs foundation. ~ Editorial Reviews https://www.amazon.com/Karin-Hammar-fab-4-Circles/dp/B07FDTF4F2

Perrsonnel:
Trombone – Karin Hammar
Double Bass – Tony Overwater
Drums – Anders Kjellberg
Piano – Jonas Östholm


Sophisticated jazz played with virtuosity and at times with hypnotic beats and bass lines. The trombone player Karin Hammar herself convinces with a lush, often lyrical sound. Well arranged, tight and with strong melodies, all songs are written by Karin Hammar, who has developed to one of Sweden´s best trombone players, always with constant variation in her playing.
Karin Hammar's strength is her fluent, singingly melodic playing. It becomes wonderfully elegiac in a kind of controlled melancholy. Her music is light and melodic, with shimmering harmonies and softly driven rhythm. Latin moods mixing with a proud jazzy tone. This is definitely music for everyone who is curious of jazz in a new unique style.
