The Keefe Jackson - Jakob Heinemann Quartet presents an international collaboration between three cities, weaving together sounds from the musical communities of Oslo, Chicago and Los Angeles. The project consists of a core trio with Keefe Jackson (saxophones, bass clarinet), Adam Shead (drums), and Jakob Heinemann on bass, who released their debut album Stinger in August 2025 on Irritable Mystic Records. Augmenting this group is reedist Andre Royston, a rising star on Oslo’s thriving creative music scene. Stinger has received strong critical response, with All About Jazz praising the trio’s fluency and collective language, The Free Jazz Collective calling the album “glorious stuff” and placing Jackson firmly in the loft-era aesthetic tradition, and Dusted Magazine highlighting the group's emotionally compelling, nimble interplay. This quartet builds directly on that foundation, debuting a new book of compositions while maintaining the same collective spirit of improvisation.
