"first-rate guitar skills"

Reviewer: 20th Century Guitar

Hailing from Sweden and now writing soundtracks in the LA area, guitarist Erik Lundmark continues the prominent tradition of Scandinvian jazz-rock guitar great Janne Schaffer.
In some ways similar to Pat Metheny's best recordings, Lundmark's fifth solo album is loaded with convincing compositions, first-rate guitar skills and inspiring arrangements.
Recorded in Stockholm, Canadian Impressions finds the guitarist backed by a band of Scandinavian superstar musicians including Andreas Aarflot (keyboards), David Wilczewski (sax) and Mikael Hedenquist (drums).
Like both Metheny and Schaffer before him, Lundmark is masterful at mixing mysterious and moody jazz guitar settings with a more upbeat, almost funky instrumental guitar-based jazz-rock sound.
A refreshing new guitar album filled with enchanting musical grooves, Canadian Impressions will be the ticket to further establishing Lundmark with a whole new market of American devotees. -Robert Silverstein
