The trio’s music is described as distinctive and extrovert, clearly influenced by 60s jazz, soul and pop but with a clear Nordic scent.

 About Ding Dong’s album :

 On this their fourth studio album the Daniel Karlsson Trio take their art to yet another level. As on their previous              three albums Ding Dong is positively jam-packed with original ultra-hip music by prolific pianist, composer and bandleader Daniel Karlsson. The album was recorded during two separate sessions in 2016. The first one just after New Years’ Eve in the dark of winter during a blizzard of snow over the Stockholm archipelago and the island of Runmarö. The contrast couldn’t have been greater than to when the mobile studio was rigged in the Runmarö Concert Hall for a second recording session during the week of bright midsummer nights in June.

We have worked with the same collage/cut up technique on Ding Dong as previously, i.e. the production has started out as regular piano trio recording that has been cut up, resampled and/or, with new overdubs added. But this time there are also tracks like Last Tesoro where Christian Spering has used an effect pedal on his double bass already at the recording stage to set a sound. The title track and the final Passing Fury with its raw live sound from a nightly excursion in a Milesean vibe has also been tinged from the start. One track has made it to the final master without any treatment whatsoever, on Spyder’s Mam the trio appear in their most traditional shape. The minimalistic Streetlight Shadows takes ideas first appearing on At the Feel Free Falafel (the trio’s third album) but this time even further. Concluding the Ding Dong track listing - A Man and His Umbrella - a playful fusion track.
In conjunction with the release of Ding Dong the trio will make a club tour in Germany, Austria and Italy.

Biography

Biography

The Daniel Karlsson Trio are pianist, keyboards Daniel Karlsson, double bass player Christian Spering and drummer, percussionist Fredrik Rundqvist.

The Daniel Karlsson Trio have since their album debut Das Taxibåt in September 2013 established themselves as one of the most interesting constellations in Swedish and European jazz.

Not least through the magnificent hat trick brought home by their sophomore release Fusion for Fish, released in August 2014.

The album ended up winning 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 have been opened abroad as well, their music met with press accolades and frequent airplay in Germany, but also in the UK and Ireland.

Their 2016 release, their third album, At the Feel Free Falafel also garnered a lot of attention with favourable reviews and extensive radio. The same is also true about this year’s trio release, their fourth full length title Ding Dong.

An album that has just given them another nomination for a Swedish Grammy Award for best jazz album in 2018.

As before the trio’s flow and rather astonishing production of new music continue... Their fifth outing, aptly titled No. 5, in so many years will be released in March 2018.

Besides touring the trio has also recorded two live concerts for the Swedish Radio and shot several music videos, including one being filmed from a helicopter in the Italian Dolomites and another in thick fog in the Stockholm archipelago.

Daniel Karlsson is well known for his work in highly merited Oddjob and Magnus Öström Band. He has also been a frequent collaborator with among others Till Brönner, Nils Landgren, Viktoria Tolstoy and Rigmor Gustafsson.

In 2005 he was nominated Jazz Artist of the Year and released Pan-Pan, his first album in his own name. Christian has also toured with Rigmor and Nils and has also been heard with jazz icons such as Peter Erskine, Bobo Stenson and Jon Christensen. Fredrik has also, among others, played with Bobo Stenson and Palle Danielsson. In recent years he has most frequently been heard in indie pop star Sarah Blasko’s band.

The three musicians have known each other for a long time and through several previous collaborations. Daniel and Fredrik met when they studied music together in the south of Sweden and got to know Christian some years later when they both relocated to Stockholm.

The trio’s music is described as distinctive and extrovert, clearly influenced by 60s jazz, soul and pop but with a clear Nordic scent.

All music is penned by Daniel Karlsson. The trio has a tight cooperation with Swedish indie label Brus & Knaster which is distributed in the Nordic and Baltic countries by Playground Music, in Central Europe by Galileo Music in Munich and in the Benelux by Xango Music.
