Swedish composer, arranger, bassist and cellist Lars Danielsson has, to date, released three albums on ACT as a leader, and plays as a sideman on numerous other ACT releases. He was also producer on the current album of singer Viktoria Tolstoy, ‘Pictures of Me’.

Lars Danielsson is a musician of astonishing versatility. While he was studying classical cello at Gothenburg Conservatory, he was listening mostly to rock: Jimi Hendrix, Cream and Santana. Then he happened to see an Oscar Peterson concert on TV with Danish bassist Nils-Henning Ørsted Pedersen. This was the beginning of his conversion – from now on the bass was to take first place in his life.

His latest work, ‘Pasodoble’, is an exciting new duo album with Leszek Mozdzer, an artist who is widely regarded as the most successful and versatile pianist of his home country, Poland. Mozdzer was already featured with a composition on the ACT-compilation, ‘Romantic Freedom’, which served as an introduction to the series, ‘Piano Works’.

"Lars Danielsson is one of the most poetically expressive bassists in jazz. Together with Polish pianist Lezek Mozdzer, the duo makes subtle, fervent music, commingling their separate strands of details into delicate designs. Wherever the pieces start, the fascination of Pasodoble is in hearing how these two players spontaneously, interactively, gracefully elaborate them." JazzTimes
