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

During their three year career so far they’ve won a Swedish Jazz Grammy for their latest album Fusion for Fish and the Swedish Radio Award for Best Jazz Group in 2014. Their first two albums Das Taxibåt and Fusion for Fish have been critically acclaimed domestically as well as abroad and the music from both albums have seen frequent airplay in Central Europe and Great Britain.

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 and in Central Europé by Galileo MC in Munich.
