Lars Danielsson & Chamber Jazz Consort

Chamber Jazz Consort

The Brussels Chamber Jazz Consort is a unique project of the musicians' collective and platform Brussels Muzieque. The Consort keeps changing guises. Both in terms of the line-up, which can vary from trio to large ensemble and in terms of the music they play, which covers all genres between jazz and classical. Tonight, you will see and hear the Chamber Jazz Consort in the form of 4 string players with bass clarinet. The collective also continually invites musicians for unique collaborations. This time, it is bassist Lars Danielsson. The six go on an unforgettable, extremely varied journey in which traditional swing and avant-garde go hand in hand.

Lars Danielsson

Lars Danielsson started his musical life on the cello. But during his classical cello studies at the Gothenburg Conservatory, he could not resist the lure of the double bass. With the switch to double bass, a switch to jazz also followed. The Swedish cellist, bassist, composer and arranger now has an almost legendary status, including with his own quartet. And in fact there is no contemporary jazz hero with whom Danielsson has not collaborated. Tonight, he returns somewhat to his classical roots with the four strings and bass clarinettist of the Chamber Jazz Consort. Expect traditional swing, lyrical jazz, pop themes and a touch of classical here and there!
