East Collectors, a project by Danish bass player, producer and songwriter Jimmy Østbygaard. For decades he has worked either as producer or session musician with artists located in Spain, Sweden, Faroe Islands and other places. Now he steps forward as a recording artist with East Collectors, a project based on Jimmy’s songs, the first performed by Faroese singer, Jens Marni. Jimmy has family roots at the Faroe Islands but living in Denmark for his whole life he will, among other things, use this project to examine these Faroese roots. It’s easy to recognize inspiration from some of the WestCoast greats like Bill LaBounty, Michael McDonald & Bill Champlin. Inspiration, that is very tastefully blended with Jimmy Østbygaard’s personal style and is reflected by his family roots from Faroe Islands.
