Jon Henriksson’s Shapeshifter out 20th March moves fluidly between contrasting moods, from forceful and driving to reflective and restrained.

Shapeshifter is built around a core quartet of tenor saxophone, piano, double bass and drums,
expanded with guitar on three tracks and trombone on two. The album moves fluidly between
contrasting moods, from forceful and driving to reflective and restrained, with each piece shaped
by the musicians’ intuition and responsiveness. The title reflects Henriksson’s compositional
philosophy: allowing roles, textures, and forms to evolve as the music unfolds. Originally conceived as a quartet album, Shapeshifter took its final shape in the lead-up to recording as additional instrumental colours were introduced organically.
