Line Kruse

In 1993, a young, Danish violinist named Line Kruse left Copenhagen for the City of Lights... Why Paris? “Well, just for fun!”, so she says. In that spirit and with a taste for the unusual, Line Kruse quickly hitched-up with the top avant-gard Cuban and Argentinean bands in Paris at the time, and inevitably, caught the eye of today’s world-famous Gotan Project.

Despite her frosty northern origins, Line’s got a penchant for the sun... With the release of her first solo album Warm Waves in 2005 and along-side her performance schedule with Gotan Project, France’s beautiful blue-eyed Dane is still having fun, bringing sensuality with fresh, new force back onto the jazz scene.

Her collection of refreshing instrumental jazz, woven together with Afro-Cuban rhythm, modern Latin sound and memorable melodies is a real crowd pleaser. This, in addition to her charm and firey improvisation, has not left professionals and jazz officionados indifferent.

DREAM, the new album from Stunt RecordsDanish violinist and composer, Line Kruse lives in Paris, France, but she’s got the whole world for her playground. Singled out for outstanding performances world-wide with the ground-breaking electronica Tango group Gotan Project, Line has also forged an exceptional path all her own.
