PROJECTS



Besides performing in ever changing free improvised contexts, Tomo is also involved in many steady projects.
Here are some he is a leader or co-leader to.





TOMO SOLO



TOMO SOLO is Tomo Jacobson's solo double bass free improvisation project. It is about the connections between physicality, spirituality, and intuition. Physicality of playing the double bass, of being a part of the instrument, of creating music through the physical efforts. Spirituality with an intention to be expressed with every sound made. Intuition, trust and letting go to the fountain of music pouring out through self.

MOONBOW



MOONBOW is an international septet playing freedom music full of pure energy, levitating improvisations, ecstatic grooves, and unforgettable themes. The music for MOONBOW was composed by the bass player Tomo Jacobson, but the imperative of working with the band was to give the band members freedom to shape the material their own way, fully engaging their unique, strong, and diverse creative intuitions.

MOUNT MEANDER



MOUNT MEANDER is an collective of four musicians improvising their way up the mountain. They are tearing down the borders between avant-garde, jazz, world, or pop and rock musics. It is not about genres and conceptual work, but about unity, equality, trust, and the space between the four musicians and the audiences.

FREE SPIRITUAL



FREE SPIRITUAL is a spiritual free jazz trio. The band plays their interpretation of a full medieval Gregorian requiem mass. The trio keeps and elevates the roughness and purity of the Gregorian chant and focuses on their personal expression of what the two mean to them and how they see the initial energy of this music.
