'Taking Turns' is a star-studded affair that was recorded in 2014. Joined by pianist Jason Moran, late great alto saxophonist Lee Konitz, Bill Frisell on guitar, Thomas Morgan on bass and Andrew Cyrille on drums, on the album Bro presents a lusciously harmonious set of tunes that depend on subtle collective improvisation.
 
Jakob: “Much of my music is constructed around melodies. My compositions are almost like a song. But within the frame I set up with a melody, a lot of things can happen. New layers of music are constantly added to the vocabulary, and when you play, you unconsciously get to a new place.”
