Travelling with Karl Martin - Almqvist and the Ababhemu on The K Jazz Show

This week on The K Jazz Show, we were thrilled to welcome a phenomenal saxophonist, composer, and bandleader whose sound resonates across continents –

Karl Martin Almqvist is known for his soulful tone, inventive improvisation, and deep collaborative spirit, and has carved out a global presence in jazz.

He is coming to South Africa as part of the Standard Bank Joy of Jazz 2025, performing with his powerhouse ensemble – the Ababhemu Quartet – a group rooted in trust, brotherhood, and a bold vision of unity through music.
