Really looking forward to playing at Tøjhuset, Fredericia, DK with the bassist Kenneth Dahl Knudsen and pianist Carl-Emil Dons Christensen. This is an exciting new trio playing contemporary jazz and world music – the trio’s repertoire consists primarily of their own compositions.
Kenneth Dahl Knudsen is one of the most recognized Danish bassists. He is an active composer and musician and is the bandleader for a number of his own projects. Knudsen has played and worked with a number of Danish and
international jazz musicians, including John Scofield, Uffe Steen, Aaron Parks, Gilad Hekselman, Dick Oatts, Lingling Yu, Mayank Bedekar, Jonathan Blake, Joel Frahm, Francois Lindemann, Jaleel Shaw, Uri Gurvich, Tomasz Dabrowski and Gauthier Toux. Knudsen lives in and works from Aalborg. He holds a position as assistant professor at the Royal Academy of Music where he teaches bass, entrepreneurship and ensemble playing. In addition, Knudsen is Musical Director for the talent development projects Young Nordic Stars and Liberty Orchestra.
Carl-Emil Dons Christensen, an outstanding young musician, is a regular pianist in various projects, including the critically acclaimed Tobias Stavngaard Sextet where he plays with Aske Drasbæk and Jakob Sørensen from The Kutimangoes. In 2022 he won the Bucharest Jazz Competition with his own trio.
There will be a jam session following the concert. Hope to see you there!
