About Daniel Herskedal
Artist Biography
Since releasing 2010's City Stories, Norwegian composer, tubist, and bass trumpet player Daniel Herskedal has pushed the sonic and technical limitations of his chosen instruments. His style weds formal classical composing techniques to jazz improvisation and folk traditions. His arrangement of John Phillips' "San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Some Flowers in Your Hair)" was used in Coca Cola's "Open Like Never Before" global advertising campaign. His environmental trilogy for Edition Records -- 2015's Slow Eastbound Train, 2017's The Roc, and 2019's Voyage -- won European and American critics over. In 2019 Herskedal collaborated with Saami traditional singer Marja Mortensson on the duo offering Lååje = Dawn that wed South and Ume Saami yoik melodies to a classical chamber quintet. 2020's Call for Winter was performed solo by Herskedal on tuba and bass trumpet with overdubs. The ensemble outing Harbour followed in July 2021.
