Erik
Palmberg
Erik has distinguished himself with an expressive and lyrical sound, embracing his nordic roots while remaining firmly in the jazz tradition. His playing and compositions blurs the lines between the intricate lines of the bebop language alongside that more expansive European and nordic jazz sound.
"His own signature sound has now emerged. It is one of crisp articulation on a wide array of note selections, and an innate sense of taking the music in the direction it wants to go.
Palmberg's fluidity, heart, and personal grasp of note selections are on display. He gently takes the reins and shifts through a decadent palette of crystal clear notes that can grab you and take you through an array of emotions."
- Allaboutjazz, USA
