Peter Knudsen
Born:
Peter Knudsen started playing the piano and also began writing his own music at the age of 10, and discovered jazz and 20th century music as a teenager. Having worked for some years with adapting the music of Debussy and Ravel for jazz trio, Peter and his trio recorded Impressions- a tribute to Debussy and Ravel in 2008, released on Found You Recordings. During 2009-2010, the trio did two summer tours in France. The trio has also performed at Swedish jazz clubs, festivals and concert halls.
In 2010, he launched the project Peterson-Berger revisited, a quartet featuring Joakim Milder on Saxophone performing new arrangements of Swedish composer Wilhelm Peterson-Berger's music. In 2011, the group toured with the material and also recorded an album in the composer's home Sommarhagen. During the same year, Peter also formed the octet Peter Knudsen Eight and recorded the album Sagas of the Present featuring his own compositions. The album was released on the Italian label CAM Jazz and reviewed favorably by Down Beat, All About Jazz alongside European magazines. In 2016, Knudsen was commissioned to write new big band compositions for the acclaimed Stockholm Jazz Orchestra, resulting in the folklore-inspired suite Nature Spirits, also released as an album with the same name by Do Music Records in 2019. During 2015-2016, Knudsen also toured in Brazil on two occasions with a Brazilian-Swedish trio featuring drummer Kiko Freitas, as a part of a teacher exchange. Around the same time he started working with the group Derupeto, an international quartet with members from Sweden, Brazil and Mozambique. The group released their debut album Derupeto in 2020.
