Mads Vinding is probably one of the most brilliant bassplayers of today. He started hos professional career 15 year old. Being part of the very fertile jazzenvironment in Copenhagen in the 60's he played with people like Dexter Gordon, Ben Webster, Alex Riel, Hank Jones, Philip Catherine, Kenny Drew, Johnny Griffin and many more.

During the 70's and still today Mads Vinding established himself as one of very few bassplayers who are capable of playing in the tradition of Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen.

Since the early 90's Mads Vinding have released a very fine selection of trio CD's with people like Carsten Dahl, Alex Riel, Enrico Pieranunzi, Roger Kellaway and Jacob Karlzon. The most succesful being "The Kingdom" with Alex Riel & Enrico Pieranunzi and the latest "Bubbles & Ballads" with two of Scandinavias finest young players, Jacob Karlzon and Morten Lund.

If you get a chance to see him live - do it!, only very few bassplayers has a talent this big. I promise you will be blown away. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
