About Claus Waidtløw
Waidtløw’s official biography dates his presence on the Danish music scene to 1989 and documents study at Copenhagen’s Rhythmic Music Conservatory, including modern composition with Bob Brookmeyer. La Fontaine identifies both saxophone and flute within his modern-jazz practice.[1][2]
The artist’s chronology separates his quartet, big-band writing, and other collaborative projects. It documents leader recordings from Claustrophobia through New Beginning, Between Below, and The Seasons, plus a Danish Music Award for composition connected with Playhouse.[1]
Waidtløw’s official site identifies him as an associate professor at the Danish National Academy of Music teaching saxophone, improvisation, and ensemble. Its linked SoundCloud and YouTube archives provide first-party audio and video from quartet, orchestra, and collaborative settings.[1][3][4]
