Swedish jazz guitarist Andreas Öberg has been seizing increasing attention for his seamless blend of virtuosity and musicality in recent years. His career officially moves several notches upward and outward with the release of his first American album on April 8th, fittingly entitled My Favorite Guitars, on the new Resonance Records label. On its dozen luminously produced and improvisation-fueled tracks, Öberg pays tribute to many of his guitaristic inspirations, including Wes Montgomery, Django Reinhardt, Pat Metheny, George Benson, Pat Martino, and Toninho Horta, while also demonstrating the distinctive Öberg touch and voice.
