Ida Duelund | CPH Jazz Festival

Bassist and composer, Ida Duelund has in recent years managed to move freely across an array of communities and generations both in the alternative and established Copenhagen music scene. She debuted as a solo artist last year with the surrealist album, Sibo, for which she received two Danish Grammys. 

Her songs and compositions are characterised by a complete dedication to playfulness and interplay between the musicians and a careless disregard for genres and trends. She moves effortlessly, almost ruthlessly through musical history as if mixing a bag of fantastical lollies. 

For Copenhagen Jazz Festival, Duelund has meticulously gathered a group of musicians from very different corners of the Danish jazz- and alternative music scene. Together they will interpret her recent works in a musical collage where improvisations weave in and out between Duelund’s surrealistic songs and compositions. 

She has worked with artists such as Baby In Vain, ML Buch, Jada, Barbro and Marilyn Mazur, and is a founding member of the experimental string duo Lueenas.
