Eivind Aarset

Eivind Aarset is a Norweigian Guitarist who has worked with artists such as Ray Charles, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Ute Lemper, Ketil Bjornstad, Mike Mainieri, Arild Andersen, Abraham Laboriel and Django Bates yet is most known for his work with trumpeter Nils Petter Molvaer.

His style is often associated with that of Nu Jazz as his performing, improvising and albums feature a strong 21st century electronic influence. He is considered to be one of the unqiue re-interpretations of what the role and sound of the electric guitarist can be.
