Erik Brinkman
Erik (*1981) started taking piano lessons at the age of 7. Between the age of 10 to 23 he
studied music at different academies in Sweden and Norway. At the age of 15 his interest
for jazz began to influence the playing, even so the classic school was and still is in his
roots. Erik has studied jazz and improvised music at Stockholm Music Conservatory (Rytmus),
Bolnäs Fhsk, Piteå College of Music and Trondheim Music Conservatory. He has performed
with many different bands and artists around Sweden, Norway and France. Among other places he
has performed at Stockholm Jazzfestival, Stockholm Concerthall, Jazz club Faching, Trondheim Jazzfestival etc.
The interest for Hammond and organ music has always been a strong ingredient in Eriks life. A lot of musicians have influenced him to the musician he is today, but to mention a few there are Jimmy McGriff, Jimmy Smith and Jack McDuff. In the summer of 2005 Erik bought a Hammond XK33 with Leslie 2101 + 2121 and a 13 keys pedalboard. Since beginning of january 2007, Erik "Bronkenstein" Brinkman lives in France and work full time on spreading the sound of his Hammond in the Alpes. |
