About the Album
With countless collaborations alongside some of the most celebrated names in jazz and global music - from Shakti and Avishai Cohen to Marilyn Mazur and Jon Hassell - Swedish flutist and saxophonist Anders Hagberg returns with With Hope, his second solo album with his Nordic ensemble.
With Hope is a poignant and timely response to a world in turmoil — a record that acknowledges the sadness of war, polarization, and climate change, while seeking resilience, wonder, and connection in the spaces between.

“A meditatively luminous set of Scandi folk-infused jazz.” Jazzwise (UK)
“A deeply moving sense of spirituality…powerful density and compositional cohesion." Musik an Sich (DE)
