Since arriving on the Danish Jazz scene in 1981 this elegant and
explosive musician has been searching relentlessly into the realms of
experimental and contemporary music. A truly original and virtuoso
voice, performing in bands such as his own 11-pieceroots/blues/jazz
oriented Fredrik Lundin Overdrive, the imrpov-trio Sound of Choise with
Hasse Poulsen, the ECM-recording and border-crossing Jon Balke Magnetic
North Orchestra and the jazz quartet Jonas Johansens Move. Also he is a
distinguished composer for contemporary ensembles and jazz groups.
His latest album with Overdrive, "Belly-up" deals with the classic music
of blues legend Leadbelly, whereas the improv-trio Sound Of Choice'
brand new release, "Rugby In Japan", is a tour de force through almost
every imaginable kind of music and sound scape, ranging from a frenetic
and very virtuoso electronic improvisation to a beautiful lyrical song,
from dark, mysterious wanderings to heavy metal jazz.
Fredrik Lundin's Discography as a leader:
"Twilight Land" with his quartet (1986, Stunt); "The Cycle" with his
