With this all-star quartet there is an ecstatic live experience. Portable Infinity - portable infinity - is the name of the Scandinavian-American project. The quartet not only carries jazz history in its luggage, but also personal encounters with greats such as Pat Metheny, Herbie Hancock, John Scofield and Esbjörn Svensson. Many things come together here: the many years of experience, the openness to new things and the pure desire to play. "As a child, I always invented something," says Benjamin Köppel. "I have invented a whole world and a language for this world. I use all of that in my music." The Danish saxophonist and award-winning novelist is a formative figure of European jazz, always in exchange with the American tradition. In the quartet he meets the magically grooving drummer Magnus Öström - former member of the legendary e.s.t. -, the amazingly versatile bassist Scott Colley and the energetic pianist Jacob Karlzon, for whom every concert is an event: "For me, performing live in front of an audience is the original place of music, an ecstatic experience for both sides."
