Tommy
Denander
- Tommy Denander, one of finest guitar player from Sweden has
finally step out as a solo artist with his two amazing
instrumental guitar albums that show what a versatile and
passionate player he is.
- He had started his professional musical career as the
guitarist of Swedish rock group named ATC when he was only 15.
Since then, he appeared on more than 50 albums as a musician,
producer or engineer.
- During his stay in Los Angels from 1987 to 1990, he played
with or gained much interest from stars like Steve Lukather, Mike
Landau, Jeff Beck, Alan Holdsworth, Karizma.
- Back in 1988, Tommy was halfway through writing for a solo
debut album from Swedish Label Sonet, but he stopped because he
realized that he wasn't mature yet to pull it off. In 1995 he has
felt the time has finally come, and Tommy did so with 2
albums.
- Furthermore, Tommy has recorded 10 songs with Jeff Porcaro,
Mike Porcaro, Steve Porcaro and David Paich of Toto in Los Angels
in October, 1991. Back in Sweden, he finished the album with a
Swedish singer called Andy Eklund. That Album will be expected to
come out near future under the group name - RADIOACTIVE
-.

- Review: This is a very romantic and beautiful album filled
with Tommy's passionate crying guitar with feeling. "5492"
written by Tommy, Jeff Porcaro and Michael Porcaro was recorded
at Castle Oaks and Paich Manor studio, Los Angels in October
1991. And this song is in every way a heartfelt tribute to Jeff
Porcaro, who sadly passed away in 1992.
