Formed in 1976, Hawk on Flight helped define Swedish jazz fusion with their fluid grooves, bold improvisation and the signature fretless bass of Matz Nilsson. Drawing comparisons to Weather Report and electric Miles, the Gothenburg-based group quickly became a benchmark for the genre. Homegrown, but with international reach.
Now they return, recharged and reimagined. With Björn Arkö stepping in on sax and EWI, and joined by leading players like guitarist Staffan William-Olsson and pianist Marcos Ubeda, Hawk on Flight dive back into their deep catalogue. Bringing new colors to their classic sound.
Expect soaring solos, textured synths, tight rhythms and deep grooves. This is a reunion with intent, not nostalgia, but momentum.
