| About Aksel Westlund |
Jazz guitarist/composer Aksel Westlund switched from violin to guitar at 15, and has not looked back since. He has studied with Frode Kjekstad, who showed him novel new ways of rearranging the three chords he knew, as well as Jez Franks and Jiannis Pavlidis. He is currently finishing his 3rd year at Leeds College of Music, majoring in Jazz Performance.
Aksel can be found performing around Leeds with Sculpture Park, an exiting band formed in 2007 by Saxophonist Mark Cowley. He has also been known to play for drinks and tips at tiny cafes in Stavanger.
Aksel is a founding member of Big Filthy Jazz, a musicians collective dedicated to helping new bands playing original improvised music get together, develop their music and promote themselves.
