ANDREAS ÖBERG
Six String Evolution
Resonance Records

Andreas Öberg is quickly becoming one of the most admired jazz guitar players on the planet, and Six String Evolution, his second CD for Resonance Records, represents yet another remarkable step in his international ascendance.

Born in Stockholm, Sweden, Öberg sees himself as "a young player with one foot in the tradition and one foot on new grounds." Don Heckman, writing in the Los Angeles Times, has noted that "his playing is at times an astonishing display of virtuosity."

Six String Evolution presents the Swedish guitarist in the company of heavyweight players from around the globe. They include pianist Dave Kikoski, bassist John Patitucci, drummer Lewis Nash, singer-saxophonist Darmon Meader, vocalist Filo Machado and bassist Decebal Badila. With his new release, Öberg serves up stunning takes on the past, present and future of jazz guitar.
