MARTIN NODELAND
ARTIST COMPOSER GUITARIST
ABOUT
“Martin Nodeland (b. 1993) is a Norwegian guitarist, composer and arranger whose first recording as leader, Debut (2019), was a confident and intricate neo-bop quintet playing original music, and a couple of standards. Only a year later and with Origins (2020) he released an ambitious album of all originals performed by an eleven-piece ensemble.
​
As a soloist Nodeland has guested ensembles such as OJKOS and Ensemble Ernst. As a leader, and a sought after side man, he has played, collaborated and recorded with a wide array of jazz heavy hitters like Will Vinson, Nduduzo Makhathini, Tore Brunborg, Ole Morten Vågan, Olga Konkova, Atle Nymo, Petter Wettre, Live Marie Roggen, Hanna Paulsberg and Gianni Gagliardi.


"Already during the first track, Ballard, he reveals himself as a competent composer, and a guitarist with flair, harmonic understanding and technique that supplements his compositions and musical ideas exquisitely.”

 - Petter Wettre
"... an as impressive and mature debut you could imagine. - Tor Hammerø (Nettavisen)
"...Nodeland himself, somewhere in his twenties, sounds killing. There is a wonderful flow in his playing, it's creative and technically brilliant." - Espen Løkeland Stai (Dagsavisen)
"In short, Origins is a beautiful album, and Martin Nodeland, born in 1993, is a performer to watch." - Julian Maynard-Smith (LondonJazzNews)
