by The Art Of Listening
Eivind Aarset
‘Eivind Aarset is today consecrated as one of the greatest Scandinavian guitarists, a master of light whose research and sound identity reverberated on countless musicians beyond jazz’. His debut as a bandleader on Jazzland Recordings was described by the New York Times as "One of the best post-Miles electric jazz albums," setting a high benchmark that Aarset has consistently met and exceeded, both in the studio and in live performance.
As one of Norway's most in-demand guitarists, Eivind Aarset has worked with Jon Hassell, David Sylvian, Laurie Anderdson, Bill Laswell, Sly & Robbie, Tigran Hamasyan, Jan Bang, Jan Garbarek, Marilyn Mazur, Andy Sheppard, Hamid Drake, Husnu Selnederici and Arve Henriksen to name a few. He has worked with Nils Petter Molvaer's band, (appearing on all of Molvaer's albums up to 2010, including the breakthrough album "Khmer" and 2006's award winning "ER"). And not at least, he has a long-lasting collaboration with Dhafer Youssef, both live and in the studio.
