READ ABOUT >>> Terje Rypdal

Norwegian guitarist Terje Rypdal has been name checked by Jeff Beck, David Torn, Bill Frisell, Andy Summers, Nels Cline—and possibly even Jimi Hendrix—as one of their favorite players. He has released and appeared on dozens of recordings throughout his 36-year association with the prestigious ECM label, running the gamut from cutting-edge jazz to orchestral works to rock power trios. His sound is one of the most original and immediately recognizable on the planet. And he is celebrated throughout Europe as one of the finest musicians and composers of the past half-century. Yet despite these myriad musical accomplishments, Rypdal remains comparatively unrecognized within the United States.

The son of a composer and orchestra leader, Rypdal studied classical piano and trumpet as a child, and then taught himself to play guitar as he entered his teens. At age 15, he formed the Vanguards, a Hank Marvin and the Shadows-inspired band that had a string of hits during the early-to-mid-’60s. By 1967, he was performing Are You Experienced? in its entirety live, as part of his band Dream’s repertoire. Other early rock influences included Jeff Beck, Bluesbreakers-era Eric Clapton, and Stevie Winwood (who personally taught a teenaged Rypdal how to use a Marshall amp after a Spencer Davis Group concert).

Rypdal’s interest in classical music was reignited in 1968 after seeing 2001: A Space Odyssey, and he began voraciously consuming all the contemporary classical works he could find, as well as studying with composers Finn Mortensen and Kryzstof Penderecki. Concurrently, Rypdal’s involvement in jazz—he was a fan of Charlie Christian, Kenny Burrell, and Wes Montgomery—intensified. In addition to performing and recording with Jan Garbarek, he accompanied Lester Bowie at the historic Baden-Baden Free Jazz Meeting in 1969, and studied and worked with pianist/composer/theorist George Russell.

Rypdal’s eponymous 1970 ECM debut successfully merged the guitarist’s diverse musical interests, though it wasn’t until a few years later that he finally realized his signature sound—a majestic, echoed, singing tone with precisely articulated vibrato and nearly endless sustain, and a string-like attack via volume-pedal swells.
