Filip Jers Quartet – Swedish harmonica sensation
Filip Jers Quartet has refined the idea of a meeting between jazz and traditional folk music and applied it to a contemporary jazz ensemble where the harmonica plays the lead role. The results have attracted attention from jazz festivals and jazz clubs at both national and international levels. If the quartet in their critically acclaimed debut CD Filip Jers Quartet took inspiration from Toots Thielemans they are now moving towards the strong tradition of Nordic Jazz, following the path of
Swedish jazz legend and pianist Jan Johansson, among others. On stage, they show a playfulness and virtuosity that rarely leave anyone unaffected.
In spring 2014, Swedish television broadcast a documentary about Filip Jers, where the quartet had a prominent role. Their music has also been played frequently on Swedish radio.


”Colourful and imaginative jazz music” - Orkesterjournalen
”Jazz legend and harmonica player Toots Thielemans, 91 years old, is still active and giving concerts. When he retires he can feel safe that Filip Jers will continue his legacy.” – Nerikes Allehanda
”The responsive interplay of the quartet is full of trust, almost as if they anticipate each others thoughts and musical impulses.” – Kristianstadsbladet
