Born and raised in Gothenburg, Sweden, Stenmark is a tenth-generation musician whose work connects Swedish ancestral and folk melodies with New York sounds and jazz. He plays trumpet, cornet and flugelhorn, and leads projects ranging from duos and trios to quartets, a sextet, and Presence, his neo soul and R’n’B project. His credits include performances with David Byrne, Living Colour and the Maria Schneider Orchestra; his trumpet has also been heard at the Super Bowl and in The Matrix Resurrections. Reviewing a Stenmark quartet playing Swedish folk material alongside New York jazz, Rochester City Newspaper praised his “mellifluous tone” for its “warmth and honesty.”
