AndrewPlusJohn is an instrumental group, led by composer/guitarist Johan Nilsson and composer/bassplayer/keyboardist Anders Tempelman. Their music is built around soulful guitar playing, inspired by the gentle Carlos Santana, the instrumental Pink Floyd and the low-key lyrical quality of Larry Carlton and Jeff Beck. The group's music is best described as "a flowing, modern sound built on a soulful combo of guitar, keyboards, drums and bass - with other instruments and ambient textures added". Their compositions are inspired by west-coast smooth, roots, lounge-jazz and ambient/atmospheric music, but never takes away, or loses sight of, exceptionally strong melodies and down to earth groove. But AndrewPlusJohn also offers another dimension: a magnificent landscape, a relaxed state of mind, broad fields and the feeling of sitting alone under a giant oak during a warm evening, with a gentle breeze upon your face. There's an Italian phrase: "Cantabile". Look that up, and you'll be able to identify with what AndrewPlusJohn is all about!
