After “Looking Forward” (2019), pianist Eve Beuvens and Swedish saxophonist Mikael Godée sign a new opus with their Swedish team. “Ingen Fara” evokes a flight of migratory birds that fly free yet united, like the music of this Nordic quartet: airy, poetic and delicate.
After “MEQ” (Spookhuis, 2013) and “Looking Forward”, their second album released in 2019 (Igloo), the quartet toured extensively on the European scene. In the interim, the pianist also released a solo album (Inner Geography, Igloo, 2021) and is currently developing a trio project with singer Lynn Cassiers and bassist Lennart Heyndels.
Faithful to the Igloo label since 2009 (first album as a trio, “Noordzee”), she and her Swedish acolytes Mikael Godée, Magnus Bergström and Johan Birgenius completed this third opus entitled “Ingen Fara”.

They engaged Magnus Bergström on bass and Johan Birgenius on drums (one of the most appreciated rhythm sections in Sweden) to create the quartet MEQ; an abbreviation of Mikael-Eve-Quartet.
