Kenneth Dahl Knudsen Sextet in concert – Sunday, May 25 at 8:30 pm at Centre Solea
END OF THE SEASON for JAM HORS LES MURS

The Danish double bassist Kenneth Dahl Knudsen will perform at Centre Solea (68 rue Sainte, 13001 Marseille) on Sunday, May 25 at 8:30 pm, on the occasion of the release of his new album, Gloomers, surrounded by a high-flying international sextet. An exceptional evening, marked by deep, elegant, and intensely human music.

A free figure in European jazz, Knudsen has established himself over the years as an unclassifiable composer, drawing with equal ease from folklore, classical music, pop, rock, or even large orchestral ensembles. His music is a kaleidoscope of forms and colors, always gathered around the beating heart of jazz.

With Gloomers, he signs one of his most accomplished albums, between melancholic introspection and luminous flights. The female voice, used here as a full-fledged instrument in a game of vocalese, gives the project a singular, almost unreal texture. One can feel both the echoes of the contemporary world — pandemic, conflicts, technological excesses — and a fierce desire to create beauty, sensitivity, and truth.

The concert will not only mark the presentation of this album but also a rare moment of communion between exceptional musicians and an audience in search of sincere emotions. Whether you already know Knudsen's universe or are discovering it, this music speaks directly to the heart and reveals itself a little more with each listen.

Behind his Nordic Viking appearance hides an artist of great subtlety, as refined in writing as in interpretation. Gloomers is a world album, a mirror of our time, crossed with hope and poetry.

Reservations only by SMS to Henri at 06 09 53 40 41.

A date not to be missed for lovers of modern, vibrant, and borderless jazz.
