Alexander Brott is a Swedish/Canadian guitarist and composer who plays with some of the world's finest jazz musicians in New York City and Europe. Born into a family of prodigious musicians, this young guitarist has already made a name for himself through his unique melodicism, impressive technique and rare, comprehensive knowledge of the jazz styles of the 30’s to 50’s.

Since graduating from the Royal College of Music in Stockholm in 2015, Alexander quickly became one of the most sought after guitarists in Sweden, playing and touring with musicians such as Amanda Sedgwick, Dwayne Clemons, Ulf Johansson Werre and Bernt Rosengren. He would subsequently travel to New York City for long periods of time before moving there, absorbing the jazz scene while further honing his craft. Before long he was one of the city's most in demand guitarists, performing every night of the week. Alexander has appeared in acclaimed movies, performed for royalty, been awarded prestigious grants and received glowing reviews for his music.

“Tradition and lovely innovation: Alexander Brott has the ambition and the gift... In his playing there is a disarming elegance that combines the tradition of legends with a modern coloring that never falls for the temptation of being virtuoso for the sake of dazzling. In other words, he has the technique but never overstates. As a lover of immortal mainstream jazz one can only rejoice!”

His quartet (consisting of Stefano Doglioni on bass clarinet, bassist Ari Roland and Keith Balla on drums) plays his own compositions with influences such as Kenny Burrell, Charlie Parker, Bud Powell, Elmo Hope and Thelonious Monk. Jazz that is beautiful, swinging and virtuoso with a rare authenticity.
