Boston and worked with artists such as Georg Riedel, Brian Charette, Nick Mancini, Peter
Asplund, Jukka Eskola, Teppo Mäkynen and Manuel Dunkel. Sandberg plays a hundred or
so concerts a year and has toured both Europe and the United States.

writing, rhythmically playful improvisation and a delightful, almost telepathic interplay
between the three.
