Peter Almqvist • My Sound

 



Editorial Review:
Here Peter Almqvist plays solo jazz guitar, accompanying himself on some tracks with over-dubbed rhythm guitar and over-dubbed solos. The tunes are basically classic jazz standards. many of which are played with a Brazilian/Latin feeling Peter Almqvist has for many years been one of Sweden's top jazz guitarists. His playing is very fluid and tasteful. His technical mastery of the guitar here is impressive, and his deep feeling for and understanding of — both jazz and Brazilian music is truly a joy to hear. This is a session which is very relaxed, and at the same time intense!



Peter Almqvist (July 17, 1957 – April 2015) was a Swedish jazz guitarist who started the duo Guitars Unlimited with Ulf Wakenius.

Reseña editorial:
Aquí Peter Almqvist toca la guitarra de jazz en solitario, acompañándose a sí mismo en algunos temas con guitarra rítmica sobredimensionada y solos sobredimensionados. Peter Almqvist ha sido durante muchos años uno de los mejores guitarristas de jazz de Suecia. Su forma de tocar es muy fluida y de buen gusto. Su dominio técnico de la guitarra es impresionante, y su profundo sentimiento y comprensión de la música brasileña y del jazz es un verdadero placer. Se trata de una sesión muy relajada y, al mismo tiempo, intensa.
