Eivind

Bio

Eivind, born and bred in Norway but resident in New York City for some two decades, has developed an utterly individual musical soundprint, one that blends the song-minded composition and creative studio craft of art rock with the virtuosic edge and spontaneity of progressive jazz. The New York Times has said: “Eivind has an unusual gift for writing small, poignant pieces of music. His melodic shards are strong, as are the chord sequences moving underneath; to a degree, the musicians take a subordinate role to the written concepts. This is no small thing: He has the distinction, in a time when jazz compositions are increasingly opaque, of writing catchy tunes.”
