He has been called “one of Finland’s best kept secrets”, the highly acclaimed but criminally under-recorded guitarist Mathias Sandberg is one of the hardest working jazz musicians in the country. For the past 15 years, he has been touring with some of the greatest artist on the Nordic jazz scene, including Georg Riedel, Pierre Swärd, Peter Asplund, Jukka Eskola, Teppo Mäkynen, Manuel Dunkel and many others. Sandberg’s long-awaited trio album The Doctor showcases his unique blend of hard swingin’, groovy and soulful jazz with strong melodic writing, rhythmically playful improvisation and an almost telepathic interplay between the three.
