Swedish composer, arranger, bassist, and cellist Lars Danielsson has released three albums on ACT as a leader to date, and plays as a sideman on many other ACT releases. He was also a producer on singer Viktoria Tolstoy's current album, Pictures of Me. Lars Danielsson is a musician of astonishing versatility. While studying classical cello at the Gothenburg Conservatory, he primarily listened to rock: Jimi Hendrix, Cream, and Santana. Then he chanced upon an Oscar Peterson concert on television featuring Danish bassist Nils-Henning Ørsted Pedersen. This was the beginning of his conversion; the bass would now take pride of place in his life. His latest work, Pasodoble, is an exciting new duo album with Leszek Mozdzer, an artist widely regarded as the most popular and versatile pianist in his native Poland.
