Modern jazz with a Nordic sound

Bagland consists of five musicians who are firmly rooted in the Scandinavian sound.

The music was composed in a secluded holiday home in the middle of a desolate and hilly winter landscape. Far away from everything. This has characterised the music. Lyrical and melancholic melodies characterise the compositions and their sound is clean and fragile with clear references to the Nordic sound.

The original expression of the band blends genres and creates the sound of Bagland. In 2015, the critically-acclaimed album Bagland was released, which is also the first release by Jakob Sørensen.

Niels Overgård (JazzNyt) wrote:

'Once in a while, a debut album appears that deserves the greatest kind of praise. Trumpet player Jakob Sørensen's record Bagland belongs in that category.'

Thanks to the album, Jakob Sørensen was nominated for a Danish Music Award Jazz in 2015. The band's second release, Nomad, laid the groundwork for Jakob Sørensen being named New Jazz Artist of the Year by DPA (Danish Popular Authors).
