About Me

Well, my name is Erik Skott and live in MalmÃ¶, Sweden. I..m a jazzguitarplayer and I currently work as a guitarteacher. I have graduated from MalmÃ¶ Academy of Music. The music in the player is from two of my bands: Faux Pas Quartet and Erik Skott Trio. I stand as composer of the FPQ music and in my trio the music is focusing more on arranged standards. The videos below are from MalmÃ¶festivalen 2007 and La Couronne 2008 with FPQ. I also play with Ida and Lumbago (click the link in my top friends to listen). Bye for now and see ya!
