Nono Söderberg

Finnish bassist and guitarist. Born on September 8, 1945.

Nono Söderberg has been active since the late 1960s. In 1975, he played on the singular, eponymous album by jazz-rock supergroup Uni Sono with pianist Olli Ahvenlahti and bassist Pekka Pohjola. Söderberg released his debut solo album, Nono, in 1976 on Hi-Hat. The follow-up, Rare Bird, appeared in 1982 on Parlovox. Before his debut album had already played for approximately 10 years in different pop and jazz groups, including Matti Oiling Happy Jazz Band, Utopia, The Needles and Jussi & The Boys. The Needles was Söderberg’s first band and in it he played the bass instead of the guitar. He switched from the bass to the guitar in 1967. In the early 70s he started working as a music teacher in Oulunkylä Pop & Jazz Academy.
