Anders Jormin, born September 7, 1957, in Jönköping, Sweden, is an acclaimed jazz double bassist and composer who has made significant contributions to the European jazz scene since the early 1980s. Jormin's sophisticated approach to composition and improvisation has earned him international recognition, alongside his facility for blending jazz with classical music sensibilities and folk influences.

After studying at the Gothenburg Conservatory, Jormin quickly established his reputation as a skilled collaborator through his work with numerous jazz luminaries such as Charles Lloyd, Don Cherry, and Elvin Jones. His proficiency shines through in his discography, which includes the eloquent "Pasado en claro," the ethereal "Angels," and the reflective journey of "Blue Lamp." In "Live in Växjö Domkyrka," Jormin demonstrates his live prowess, while "Poems for Orchestra" exhibits his talent for arranging large ensembles. His own albums, such as "Jormin: Ama," "Tantum," and "Titok," showcase his exceptional composition skills, blending the melodicism of jazz with a Nordic sensibility. "Symphony of Birds" and "Trees Of Light" continue his theme of nature-inspired music, offering listeners both tranquility and complexity. Jormin's recent works, including "Provenance," "Between Always and Never," "Ad Lucem," "Spring Tour," and "Aviaja," reflect an ever-maturing artistry defined by introspection, emotive performances, and a ceaseless exploration of the boundaries of jazz music.
