Ebba Åsman
Ebba Åsman (born c. 1998) in Hammarö, Sweden is a Swedish Jazz musician, singer and trombonist.
Life and Work
Åsman is from Hammarö, Värmland.[1] She studied music from the age of seven years old at the Kalstadt Municipal Singing and Music School. Initially, she wanted to learn the drums, however the waiting list for the instrument was too long, so therefore her brother encouraged her to pursue the trombone instead[2][3]. At the age of 15, she moved to Stockholm, where she attended the Södra Latins Gymnasium, then studied music at the Royal Conservatoire The Hague. Her examiner there, Ilja Reijngoud, advised her to continue her trombone training at the Rotterdam Conservatory of Music, where she studied from 2018.
Åsman's debut album, Zoom Out, was released in 2019 on Stockholm Jazz Records. Its "spherical, open jazz" was praised by critics as a "good example of the fusion of different cultural influences."[4] She has toured Europe with her role model and mentor Nils Landgren, with the all-star funk collective Brooklyn Funk Essentials, and with her own band.[5] She performed at the North Sea Jazz Festival with the Greyheads in 2019.[6] She performed at Jazz Baltica in 2021 with her quartet, which includes Anna Gréta Sigurðardóttir, Petter Olofsson, and Robert Ikiz.[7] The Dutch cultural broadcaster NTR dedicated a portrait program to her in 2020 in its "New Generation" series.[8]
In 2022, Åsman represented Sweden in the Euradio Jazz Orchestra under the direction of Hendrika Entzian,[9] and in 2023 the musician released her second album Be Free. Åsman’s third album When You Know was released on 21st March 2025 on the London-based label Dorado Records.[10]
