Daniel Karlsson Trio at Bristol Beacon

Wow….!
So pleased to be hosting Daniel Karlsson and his trio, back in Bristol following his first tour of the UK in September of 2018
We originally booked the trio following a brief phone conversation and hearing his dynamic music style; especially being a huge fan of the Esbjorn Svensson Trio from the very early days of the Nordic & Scandinavian Jazz explosion, of the late 1990s early Noughties, this was an eye opener!

The Trio’s music is distinctive and extrovert. The band adopts the standard piano trio format, but the music is anything but formulaic.
The trio have established themselves as one of the most interesting groupings in Swedish and European jazz; not least through the magnificent hat trick of awards celebrating their debut release Fusion for Fish, (August 2014).
The album won the Swedish Radio’s Jazz Group of the Year Award 2014, Swedish jazz magazine OJ’s Golden Disc 2015 as well as the Swedish Jazz Grammy 2015.

Ears were opened abroad as well, their music met with press accolades and frequent airplay in Germany, but also in the UK and Ireland. Five more albums soon followed with similar praise.

Do not miss this one….
