Nils Landgren

Trombone / Vocals

Meet the artist

A Swedish trombonist and singer recognised for his red instrument and warm voice. His work connects jazz and soul, from the lively Funk Unit to intimate ballad settings. Rounded trombone tones and an unadorned singing voice give varied material a shared warmth.

Funk foregrounds short phrases and sharp rhythms, while ballads rely on sustained notes and resonance. Instrumental melody and vocal delivery stay close in their natural breathing. His responsive playing brings attention to quieter pieces, connecting the songfulness shared by jazz and soul.

Where to start listening

In Sentimental Journey, hear singing and trombone as related voices and enjoy the warm resonance of quieter songs.
