One copy of each album:

Color in Motion (2021)

Marimba Standard (2026)

Physical copy - CD

Color in Motion is a jazz-infused, multi-instrumental record that puts marimba in the spotlight like never before.

Originally a classically-trained percussionist, Klukken travelled and studied in Europe and Central America to develop her unique sound as an improvising, genre-blending marimbist. Klukken plays the marimba with the versatility of a guitarist or pianist; commanding a space for marimba in the jazz ensemble.

Color in Motion was written* and produced by Jenny Klukken and recorded at Wild Sound Studios in Minneapolis, MN.
