MATTIAS NILSSON
“...some might want to place him among the Swedish pianists that followed after Jan Johansson, but Nilsson is so much more than that.” – SALT PEANUTS (Nordic)
The internationally acclaimed and award-winning Swedish pianist Mattias Nilsson (b. 1980), has with more than two thousand concerts in 34 countries around the world established himself as one of Sweden's most personal pianists with his very own voice. Nilsson incorporates the Scandinavian folklore and Nordic Vemod, with influences from classical, folk and jazz music. Through his improvisations and a very warm and personal approach, this becomes a unique expression and a musical landscape with completely new shades of color. It´s not without reason they call him the Swede with the warm Scandinavian touch.
“Mattias Nilsson rightfully fits into the genre of the great Nordic pianists, that is to say those extraordinary musicians who have managed to produce original music characterized by the encounter between the jazz tradition and the particular humus of Northern Europe...” – A PROPOSITO DI JAZZ (Italy)
