"A unique artist of exceptional ability, Nikolai has an incredible feel for the guitar"
Chet Atkins

"As a guitarist, Nikolai exhibits technical
abilities possessed by few performers. His distictive blend of American and European styles of Jazz with Brazilian Music presents a unique performance experience for both
listeners and fellow performers"

"Russian Nikolai Svishev played a solo medley of A.C. Jobim's Brazilian tunes, including 'The Girl from Ipanema'. Guillermo Morales and bassist
Roman Pekar joined in a set of jazzy trios. Make no mistake about it:
Svishev is very good, playing listenable and tasteful stylings
with interesting touches and understated finesse. "
