Biography

New album 'Lowlands' out march 5. Hit follow and stay tuned. Known to many for his collaboration with American saxophonist Jimmy Halperin. Pål Nyberg is a highly versatile guitarist, arranger and composer. His melodic and original guitar playing easily adapts to numerous styles of music and constellations, ranging from modern jazz to swing to experimental pop to modern art music. Nyberg is highly regarded as an ensemble player and has collaborated with many significant musicians in jazz and, such as Dave Frank, Joris Roelofs, Jan Allan, Josh Ginsburg, Joost Patocka, Dwayne Clemons and Per ‘Texas’ Johansson, to name just a few. "astounding technique […] constantly on the lookout for fresh angles and perspectives.” -DownBeat Magazine "one of the continent’s strongest standard bearers for the straight-ahead jazz guitar sound.” -LondonJazz News On his new album, ‘Lowlands', Pål Nyberg’s strong, expansive melodies flow between subtle synthesizers and impeccable ensemble playing. His initial approach was that of a composer, exploring his own creative world, but improvisation has been an ever-present factor in the development of the music too. The songs were often created from musical fragments that recur in new shapes throughout the album until finally, everything is woven together in a cinematic, captivating, slightly more produced sound. The end result is a singular and reflective musical statement that bears traces of cool jazz and psychedelia.
