Four European jazz stars linked together as a quartet: 4 Wheel Drive likens their ensemble to a high-performance four-cylinder engine with all the gears meshing perfectly… and the fuel: jazz.

Nils Landgren is the Swedish master trombonist who swings brilliantly from one perspective to the next, also because he needs this constant change.

Michael Wollny is the internationally successful jazz pianist, music inventor, unconventional thinker, popular figure. His trademark: the unpredictable, the quest for the never-before-heard, the courage to devote himself to the moment, to make the unforeseen sound self-evident.

The Swedish cellist and bassist Lars Danielsson has an inimitable sound, which comes both from his background and from his classical education. Danielsson is one of the most in-demand bass players in the world and has played with a virtually endless phalanx of international stars like Michael and Randy Brecker, John Scofield and Charles Lloyd.

German musician Wolfgang Haffner is described as the country’s "best drummer" (Die Welt) and the "most important drummer of his generation" (Süddeutsche Zeitung).
