Jazz guitarist and composer Mathias Sandberg's highly anticipated new trio album The Captain was released earlier this year, and has received both huge critical review and airplay on jazz radio stations in Europe, United States, South America, Asia and Australia.

The highly acclaimed guitarist and composer Mathias Sandberg has been called "one of Finland's best kept secrets", and is one of the hardest working jazz musicians in the country. He has studied at Manhattan School of Music in New York and Berklee College of Music in Boston and worked with artists such as Georg Riedel, Pierre Swärd, Peter Asplund, Nick Mancini, 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.
