Kenneth Dahl Knudsen

“Kenneth Dahl Knudsen‘s music is impossible to place in a genre – it belongs in a category of its own. If you accept that premise, the music opens up a completely new world” (Nordjyske) Danish bassist, composer and educator Kenneth Dahl Knudsen has been touring all across the planet with musicians from various genres. Always searching for new ways inside the music and new forms of collaboration, he draws a lot of inspiration from his research work on micro-rhythms and the many corners of the world his music has led him to.
Kenneth has released 5 albums as a leader: Strings Attached (2010) Clockstopper (2012) We‘ll meet in the rain (2016) Tété (2018) and UUMMAT (2020), a massive artistic statement that breaks down barriers between classical, folk and jazz. Recipient of the La Defense Jazz prize, Den Nordjyske culture prize, the Danish Arts Council, the Asia project by JazzDenmark, Jazz A Vienne Prize, The JazzClasher, In Vivo Award, Orleans Jazz Prize, DMF Award, today the award-winning bassist lives in Denmark, from where he tours, teaches and creates.
