Lars Danielsson: Symphonized

Bassist and cellist Lars Danielsson mixes classical and jazz sensibilities, juxtaposing the Gothenburg Syumpnony Orchestra along with himself and guests Paolo Fresu/tp, Arve Henriksen/tp and Carolina Grinne/horn-ob for solo and melodic excursions.
Danielsson’s bass solos along with some work by Arve Hndriksen on “Nikita’s Dream” and the warm “ Yes To You” with the muted Fresu getting jazzy on “Africa”. The mix of  percussion nd strings keep things upbeat on”Lviv” and musings like a modern movie soundtrack entice on thelively “Passacaglia” and “Libretto”. Danielsson leads the festive dance on “Scherzo” and is graceful on “The Fifth Grade”.  Music for a  Netflix series.
