We\u2019re almost at the end of 2019 and thought we\u2019d round off the year with more spotlights on great guitarists that we come across online.<\/p>\n
This edition of Roadie Spotlight<\/a> will look at the jazz guitarist Jens Larsen from the Netherlands. He\u2019s been involved in quite a few interesting projects and is also a prolific guitar teacher.<\/p>\n Jens Larsen\u2019s main gig is being a virtuoso jazz guitarist. But he\u2019s also cut his teeth as a composer and arranger in several groups and bands.<\/p>\n Here are some of the most popular projects Jens Larsen has been involved in:<\/p>\n When he\u2019s working as part of a group, Jens teaches guitar lessons on social media and sells courses on his website. He\u2019s also a teacher at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague<\/a> and regularly writes for jazz magazines and websites. In other words, he\u2019s very prolific.<\/p>\n Tr\u00e6ben is perhaps Jens Larsen\u2019s most notable group effort. The band has released three critically acclaimed albums, won a prize at the International Songwriting Contest, performed at the North Sea Jazz Festival, and toured in Canada, Scandinavia, and the Benelux countries.<\/p>\n As a master musician, Larsen can effortlessly switch up his style. But listening to Tr\u00e6ben, reminds you of classical jazz quartets. Similar artists on Spotify include Doug Raney, Pat Martino, Jonathan Kreisberg, and Jimmy Raney.<\/p>\n Listen to the prize-winning single \u201cTop Dog\u201d from Tr\u00e6ben here below:<\/p>\n\nWho is Jens Larsen?<\/h2>\n
