Jazz Guitar Trio: Jostein Gulbrandsen

Jostein Gulbrandsen is a NYC-based guitarist, composer, author, and educator originally from Norway. He has released three albums under his own name, holds a master’s degree in jazz performance from the Manhattan School of Music, and wrote a best-selling method book, Modern Jazz and Fusion Guitar.

Gulbrandsen has performed with his quartet and trio in the U.S. and Europe and is a featured artist for Collings Guitars, Quilter Labs Amplification, Eventide Effects and Curt Mangan Strings. In addition to being an accomplished jazz and fusion guitarist and composer, Gulbrandsen is fluent in many other musical styles, including blues, country, rock, pop, funk, and classical guitar.

Gulbrandsen blends music from his native Norway with American jazz. His slower compositions are melodic and open-sounding, and his more upbeat material draws from swinging hard bebop mixed with blues and fusion.
