Pål Nyberg

Pål Nyberg is an award-winning and versatile guitarist, known to many for his collaboration with the American cool jazz pioneer Jimmy Halperin. His melodic and original guitar playing has led him to collaborations with many of Europe’s most prominent musicians.

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.
