Live and act

Danielsson first studied classical cello at the Gothenburg Conservatory of Music ; under the impression of a jazz concert with Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen , he turned to jazz music.

He worked with Mwendo Dawa , singer Cæcilie Norby , saxophonist Rick Margitza , guitarist John Abercrombie , trumpeter Kenny Wheeler and drummer Trilok Gurtu , recorded and was a member of Lars Jansson's Trio 84 and the Eternal Now and the Lars Jansson Trio by Hans Ulrik's Jazzpar 99 Combo (with John Scofield and Peter Erskine ) and Carsten Dahl's Jazzpar 2000 Combo (with Tony Coe ).

With the saxophonist David Liebman , the pianist Bobo Stenson and the drummer Jon Christensen , he founded the Lars Danielsson Quartet in 1985 , with which he recorded 10 albums (some with guests). He also played with Billy Hart , Charles Lloyd , Terri Lyne Carrington , Christopher Dell and Johannes Enders . In recent years he has also worked as a composer, arranger and producer for the Danmarks Radios RUO Orchestra as well as for Cæcilie Norby, Jonas Johansen and Viktoria Tolstoy . As Artist in Residence at the JazzBaltica Festival , he directed the Jazz Baltica Ensemble in 2004 .

Since 2004 he has released the albums under his own name on the German record label ACT . The CD 4 Wheel Drive , which he was responsible for together with Nils Landgren , Michael Wollny and Wolfgang Haffner , came in first place in the Media Control Jazz annual charts in 2019 and is therefore the best-selling jazz album of the year in Germany.
