Peter Asplund is one of Sweden's foremost trumpeters. Or why not say as it is? He is one of Europe's or even one of the world's foremost trumpeters! Why draw a line when you don't need to? Jazz is not felt at any national borders! "A fantastic musician who always plays straight from the heart" has someone written somewhere. And that's just to agree. Over the years, he has developed his dynamic and energy-laden, slightly melancholy and melodic trumpet games until he can say what he wants, whenever he wants. That's when he plays a standard song by George Gerschwin, Cole Porter or Duke Ellington. And that is when he plays any of his own slightly tense songs, songs where the melodic vein is strong, "my own standards" as he calls them.He has made eight CDs in his own name, nominated for Grammis and received Jazz Sweden's foremost award, Gyllene Skivan for both "Lochiel´s warning" and "Asplund meets Bernstein". Not for nothing is he one of the most sought after musicians in Sweden. He appeared on stage during the early 1990s. At the same time, soul music received a great revival and pop music began to be "jazzed up". Peter Asplund, "the lone trumpeter on the top of the alpine", became an invited soloist at just that spice on more than 200 plates.
This is completely in line with Peter Asplund's idea that you develop when you work and work hard. To be an artist you also have to be a craftsman. One feeds the other and somewhere along the way you find your personal voice and expression. Peter Asplund did so early. He was a wonderful child who quickly went from clarity to clarity. Since then he has only developed and refined what has always been there. It sounds easy and may have been. But it would not have happened without all the work. Constantly in demand by everything and everyone but first and foremost Peter Asplund is a jazz artist. He has been at the front of a number of his own groups. Perhaps he is best known for his successful years with his quartet with pianist Jacob Karlzon, bassist Hans Andersson and drummer Johan Löfcrantz Ramsay. With it and other groups he has toured in Sweden and abroad, he has played at small clubs, concert halls and festivals, traveled around the USA, Canada, England, Germany, Australia, Poland, Switzerland, former Yugoslavia, Romania, Ireland, Mexico, Argentina, South Africa, Japan and of course the other Scandinavian countries. But Peter Asplund has not only been at the forefront of his own groups and projects, he has also been a central member of Sweden's foremost big band for a long number of years, the Tolvan Big Band and the Stockholm Jazz Orchestra. And together with saxophonist Magnus Lindgren, he also leads the Blue House Jazz Orchestra, Stockholm's own big band. Today, jazz artist Peter Asplund is mainly a soloist with trios, big bands, orchestras, wind orchestras and choirs.
In 2007, Peter Asplund surprised the jazz world. He made his debut as a jazz singer and quickly sailed as one of Sweden's foremost jazz singers in Frank Sinatra's and Mel Tormé's swing-saturated footsteps. After a hot scat duet with singer Deborah Brown, she briefly stated that he should make a record - to show how male jazz singing really should sound. As if all this was not enough, Peter Asplund is also a sought-after and often hired educator with a unique ability to share his ever-growing knowledge. For several years he was a trumpet teacher at Kungl. Stockholm University College of Music and he regularly provides clinics throughout Sweden. Peter Asplund is also a responsive producer who is increasingly engaged in jazz recordings. Over the years, Peter Asplund has managed to play with most major Swedish musical names and an impressive crowd in the international elite: Patti Austin, Louie Bellson, Jerry Bergonzi, Randy Brecker, Bob Brookmeyer, Deborah Brown, Randy Crawford, Eddie Daniels, Sinne Eeg , Georgie Fame, Mike Gibbs, Herbie Hancock, Diana Krall, Mel Lewis, Dave Liebman, Ivan Linz, Joe Lovano, Jim McNeely, Vince Mendoza, Bob Mintzer, Veronica Mortensen, Silje Nergaard, Ceacilie Norby, Adam Nussbaum, Dick Oatts, Maria Schneider, Gary Smulian, Martial Solal, Clark Terry, Toots Thielemans, Stan Tracey, McCoy Tyner, Jukkis Uotila, The Vanguard Orchestra, Kenny Werner, Kenny Wheeler, Norma Winstone, Niels Henning Ørstedt Pedersen, Jan Allan, Alice Babs, Claes Crona, Lars Danielsson, Arne Domnérus, Rigmor Gustavsson, Lars Jansson, Nils Landgren, Magnus Lindgren,The Real Group, Esbjörn Svensson Trio (est), Bobo Stensson, Svante Thuresson, Victoria Tolstoy, Bengt-Arne Wallin, Putte Wickman, Monica Zetterlund, Lennart Åberg ... https://peterasplund.com/index.php?sida=bio&lang=s
