Erik Söderlind • Twist For Jimmy Smith

  

Guitarist and composer Erik Söderlind is a musician who defines the modern Swedish jazz scene. Or as Mike Stern describe him “a phenomenon - with a unique way of playing and a very personal tone".

Erik Söderlind's trademark is his fingerstyle technique, based on his early classical training. Musically he can be described as an innovator rooted in the straight ahead-styles of swing, bebop and blues. His broad musical sensitivity and background has also taken him far beyond the jazz's domains. He has written music for, and toured, with some of Sweden's most popular singers such as Louise Hoffsten and Lisa Nilsson.

Erik Söderlind got his first guitar at the age of six and learned to play by spending hours trying to imitate blues icons like Eric Clapton and BB King. Later on he discovered jazz guitar giants like Wes Montgomery, George Benson and Grant Green and fell in love with the art of improvisation, an art form he himself soon learned to master with brilliance.

In 2015 Erik received The Guitar People Prize Sweden, an award given to the best guitar player in Sweden. The same year he released his third solo album "In The Moment" which features artists like Eric Alexander, Lisa Nilsson, Svante Thuresson and Dan Berglund, one of the members of Esbjörn Svensson Trio – EST. Over the last few years he's become increasingly better known internationally as well and has played with several of the most influential jazz guitarists in the world, like Frank Vignola and Peter Bernstein.

El guitarrista y compositor Erik Söderlind es un músico que define la escena moderna del jazz sueco. O, como lo describe Mike Stern, "un fenómeno, con una forma de tocar única y un tono muy personal".

La marca de Erik Söderlind es su técnica de fingerstyle, basada en su formación clásica temprana. Musicalmente se le puede describir como un innovador enraizado en los estilos directos del swing, el bebop y el blues. Su amplia sensibilidad musical y su formación también le han llevado más allá de los dominios del jazz. Ha escrito música para algunas de las cantantes más populares de Suecia, como Louise Hoffsten y Lisa Nilsson, y ha realizado giras con ellas.

Erik Söderlind tuvo su primera guitarra a los seis años y aprendió a tocar pasando horas intentando imitar a iconos del blues como Eric Clapton y BB King. Más tarde descubrió a gigantes de la guitarra de jazz como Wes Montgomery, George Benson y Grant Green y se enamoró del arte de la improvisación, una forma de arte que él mismo pronto aprendió a dominar con brillantez.

En 2015 Erik recibió el premio The Guitar People Prize Sweden, un galardón que se otorga al mejor guitarrista de Suecia. Ese mismo año lanzó su tercer álbum en solitario "In The Moment" en el que participan artistas como Eric Alexander, Lisa Nilsson, Svante Thuresson y Dan Berglund, uno de los miembros de Esbjörn Svensson Trio - EST. En los últimos años se ha hecho cada vez más conocido a nivel internacional y ha tocado con varios de los guitarristas de jazz más influyentes del mundo, como Frank Vignola y Peter Bernstein.
