Mattias Nilsson

“Nilsson is more than just an extraordinarily talent… a composer and piano soloist at world-class level… a style that's very much his own: warm, sensible, empathetic and lyrical.” – LIRA (Sweden)

”This musician from the south of Sweden ought to be one of Sweden’s most talked-about players on his instrument…Every note and pause come across as meaningful and considered, whether it is in minor or the opposite. His solo piano mixes Nordic chamber music with a jazzy attitude in a remarkable way.” – KULTURBLOGGEN (Sweden)

”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)

”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)

”Mattias Nilsson - a Swede with a Nordic style. What is behind this term? Well, there is an international artist behind it, who mixes the jazz piano tradition with the tonality of the landscape… He not only managed to arrange it in a more interesting way, but also to integrate it into one coherent monolith.” – LABORATORIUM MUZYCZNYCH FUZJI (Poland)

”It's almost a spiritual experience to listen to the pianist Mattias Nilsson… With delicate brush strokes, Mattias paints images of chalets, mists, shadows, intense sunlight, and all shades in between.” – FOLKBLADET (Sweden)
