In a Deeper Sense

Released in 2021, 'In a Deeper Sense' serves as a definitive showcase for Martin Landström's meticulous approach to contemporary jazz. Drawing on his extensive background in high-end television and media production, Landström brings a level of sonic polish to the EP that distinguishes it from the more raw, improvisational style of traditional jazz trios. The four-track collection is characterized by its 'clean' aesthetic - minimalist arrangements where the upright bass and light percussion serve only to highlight the central piano melodies. Critically, the album occupies a space between cool jazz and neo-classical, favoring structured composition and emotional resonance over technical exhibitionism. While brief, the EP is a cohesive statement of Landström's 'deep breath' philosophy, positioning him as a leading figure in the modern 'focus jazz' movement. It remains one of his most streamlined and accessible works, frequently cited for its utility in professional and creative environments.
