Jakob Norgren is a Swedish saxophonist, composer and big band leader. He started his orchestra, initially named Jakob Norgren Big Band Splash, in 2004 and first released two albums that mixed contemporary jazz with soul/R&B. From 2010 Jakob let the band develop into a pure soul-jazz/R&B orchestra under the shortened name Big Band Splash, while introducing Jakob Norgren Jazz Orchestra (with almost the same members) where he could refine his contemporary jazz writing. Jakob Norgren is the arranger and producer of all his albums. 
 Jakob also used processed samples from his own big band recordings to produce collage-jazz/electronica under artist name The Emersons.
