International Artists

Peter Asplund

With four albums as a soloist under his belt, Open Mind, Melos, Lochiel’s Warning and As Knights Concur, this trumpeter has developed a very personal approach to both his energy-filled trumpet and his melodic compositions. He has been described as “a fantastic musician who plays straight from the heart”..

Over the span of his career he has undertaken many long tours in clubs, theatres and festivals in Sweden, the United States, Canada, England, Germany, Australia, Poland, Switzerland, the former Yugoslavia and the rest of Scandinavia. Peter can be heard playing not only with his own group "Melos" but also with such big bands as: Tolvan Big Band, Stockholm Jazz Orchestra, Hector Bingert's Latin Lover Big Band and Bosse Broberg's Nogenja. He often appears as jazz soloist behind many popular Swedish artists both on stage and in the recording studios, especially with the much praised Swedish jazz/pop/soul group Bo Kaspers Orkester.

Well worth noting is Peter Asplund's homage to Louis Armstrong production, Satch as such, where many compositions closely associated with Armstrong have been arranged in an up-to-date manner for trumpet soloist and big band.
