" Dieser Mut zur Offenheit ist eine kompositorische Glanzleistung. Als Gitarrist ist Böhlen ohnehin über jeden Zweifel erhaben. Seiner zu jeder Sekunde greifbaren Musikalität haftet schon fast was Sakrales an, weil sie von großer Konzentration und Ernsthaftigkeit begleitet wird..." Jazzpodium, 2014
- Award winning bassist Kenneth Dahl Knudsen is touring the world 2013/14 with his "Clockstopper" album together with his internationally collected highly professional jazz-group. The music is controlled by impulses, and its composed ensemble music with strong elements of impro- visation and interaction.
A strong scandinavian heritage grasps an ensemble, that streches to all the corners of the world.
Despite of Kenneth's young age, he has already shared the stage with Jazz heavies such as: John Scofield, Gilad Hekselman, Dick Oatts, Joel Frahm, Evan Christopher, Johnathan Blake, Jaleel Shaw, Pheeroan AkLaff and countless more.
