ARTIST INSIGHTS - Nils Landgren

  • Summary

  • Nils Landgren has demonstrated how versatile a brass instrument the trombone can be since the

    1980s, playing with legends as diverse as ABBA, Wyclef Jean, Joe Sample & the Crusaders and Herbie

    Hancock.


    Trying out his father’s trombone at 13, Nils was inspired by The Beatles to pursue diverse musical

    ventures. Initially classically trained, Nils toured with pop legend Bjorn Skifs (“Hooked on a Feeling”)

    and rediscovered jazz through Miles Davis.


    Nils describes bluffing his way into a solo album, experimenting with hip hop, and later singing and

    acting. He talks about his unique red trombone, the pleasures of versatility, and working with

    Doctors Without Borders.
