Stefan Granqvist Electric & Acoustic Violinist
Sweden
Приєднався 6 жов 2020
I have played violin all my life. Already in the 70s I took my first steps in putting a mic on my acoustic violin playing with guitar effects in a blues & jazz band. Nowadays I play several electric violins as well as my old acoustic friend.
I am passionate about mixing styles and mastering many kinds of music: Rock violin, Folk Music, Country, Irish Music, Jazz, Django Jazz, Singer-Songwriter etc. Influences: Jean-Luc Ponty, Svend Asmussen, Jerry Goodman and Mark O'Connor but also fusion and jazz guitarists, e.g. Larry Carlton, Lee Ritenour, Janne Schaffer, and Ulf Wakenius.
In my music I combine my professional experiences as a computer engineer with analog and digital instruments. On my albums I play acoustic & electric guitar, bass, some organ and percussion, as well as programming the drum machines.
I love creativity and playing things the way they have never been played before.
I play in pubs, jazz clubs, churches, accompanying choir singers etc.\u2028\u2028

Christmas Time is Here
Merry Christmas 2024 and Happy New Year 2025!
A friend of mine tried to get the rest of us to play this beautiful tune several times, at a jazz jam recently ❤️. I started listening to the song and trying to learn it in its entirety. It is very beautiful, both the melody and the harmonies.
The tune then became part of the annual Christmas greeting my wife and I usually send out instead of Christmas cards.. The video contains pictures that both my wife and I took as well as some suitable AI-generated clips/pictures.
The music in this tune is written 1965 by Vince Guaraldi. The nice lyrics by Lee Mendelson is included in the video as text for two reasons. First of all, the clips&pictures are referring to the lyrics. Secondly you can sing along this way, if you want.

Preview of ”Let’s Walk Here Together”. I’ve had this lovely tune in my head for a long, long time with the message ”Life should not be ruled out, by schedules and plans”. I've put an unusual amount of work into it because I wanted it to be good. I hope you like it. Full tune also available here. Written by the Swedish national musician and poet Povel Ramel (1922-2027). It is so nice and so plea...

Waves and Sunshine
Переглядів 17Місяць тому
This piece is a rather experimental jazz tune of mine. It is experimental and unusual in terms of the chord rhythm, verse & melody as well as parts of the chord progression. It consists of a dark and a bit wild verse resolving into a sunny happy chorus. It is inspired by experiences at the sea with heavy winds and waves accompanied by sunshine and a clear blue skies. More info and me and my mus...

This is my very personal way of playing this jazz standard on 5-string electric violin, as smooth jazz. And yes, a few notes have been changed, most of the time to better fit the background harmonies. Hope you like it. The tune is from 1940, written by Tom Adair (lyrics) and Matt Dennis (music). Although this is an instrumental recording the lyrics are included as text. The images reflects the ...

Here is my freely interpreted rendition of ”Moon River” on 5-string electric violin. This is one of my absolute favorite jazz standards. It is of course very well-known and is played and varied in countless of versions. That's what characterizes a good song; it can be varied so that you never get tired of it. The nice lyrics are included as text in this instrumental version. To get you in the m...
Love For Sale (Cole Porter on Rock Violin)
Переглядів 1273 місяці тому
This is my instrumental take on the famous song "Love for Sale" by Cole Porter, written in 1930. A rocky version with distorted electric violin, uptempo and intense comp. on drums, bass and organ. In this version I play the tune as a heavy rock electric violin version. Still there are jazz chords as well as some jazz violin inspired playing style in the recording. I like mixing different genres...

This is my smooth-jazz (fusion) way of playing this jazz standard on 5-string electric violin. It was originally written by Joseph Kosma in 1945. The tune is very common and played everywhere where there is jazz. Since it is often played in various musical styles, it tends to resist being played too much making people tired of the song. Nat "King" Cole, Chet Baker, Bill Evans, and Canonball Add...

Mycket vackert att lyssna på ! Bra jobb!

Bra !
Tack
♥️♥️♥️♥️
Dette var virkelig bra, Stefan. Dette likte jeg veldig godt❤
Tusen tack Gard. Och tack för förslaget (utmaningen) att göra denna låt.
@@stefangranqvist Hørte på låten i IEM (Shure se 535). Det er god lyd! Låter veldig bra
What a pleasure to hear your performance, there is a couple of lines that I want to use in my improvisatios too, thanks for sharing dear.
Thanks for the nice words. I am happy you liked it.
JUST AMAZING FROM ATHENS IN GREECE WITH LOVE
Thanks, I am so happy you like it. From Sweden with love.
Fint spelat som vanligt, Stefan
Tack Jörgen
Helt nydelig, og betagende versjon! Trommene i bakgrunnssporet burde vært bedre. Jeg er overbevist om at både Gary Moore og Phil Lynott ville satt pris på den her!❤ Du klarer på en måte å gjenskape stemmen til Phil Lynott på første verset
Great!!! 💝
Wow... Amazing!!! 🙌
💙..👌🙌🌟
Beautiful!
The Violin is really Crying! Love it, man!
Just Beautiful!
Fint fiolspel och skönsång.
Tack Jörgen. Det här är en låt jag kommit att spela till och från hela mitt vuxna liv med olika personer, den känns alltid bra. "Desire" där ju låten finns, är nog det Dylan-album jag gillar bäst. Snart ska du och jag spela igen, det ska bli kul.
Ser fram emot att få höra hela Danny Boy, en absolut favoritlåt. Och ditt fina fiolspel i den!
Tack Jörgen. Ja det är en sån där gammal melodi som är enkel men ändå så fin. Den kommer på Spotify, UA-cam, Apple Music etc. Men inte i form av vanlig UA-cam-video med rörliga bilder.
Very nice Stefan.
very nice!
So nice!
