Listen "Interview With Per Olav Kobberstad, World Touring Latin Jazz Guitarist"
Episode Synopsis
This time on FretDojo, I’m excited to share with you an interview I recently had with world-wide touring latin jazz guitarist from Norway, Per Olav Kobberstad.
Per Olav is one of those young, modern Latin jazz guitarists that are a breeze of fresh air and who are bringing all-welcome innovations to the genre. Just check out his credits:
Per Olav is one of the few in the world playing 8-string acoustic guitar
Released his debut album “Os Rios, As Ligações” with some of Brazil’s top musicians in 2014
Album “Colonial Colors” was released together with Alf Wilhelm Lundberg in 2016
Per Olav recorded his latest album “Cachorro À Vista” with one of the most legendary percussionists in Brazil, Robertinho Silva (known to play with Tom Jobim, Wayne Shorter, Weather Report, Milton Nascimento, Herbie Hancock and many more).
In the interview below, I go on a deep dive with Per Olav where he reveals how he started with Latin jazz, what led him to tour the world, his time gigging in Brazil, as well as how he approaches jazz guitar and composing music. It’s time to get up close with Per Olav – I suggest you bring a notepad as there are golden tips inside this interview.
