Portrait - Jonas Lohse

With Jonas Lohse on double-bass we have found a good bassplayer that fits pefectly into our music of "Coeur du Bois" with his playingstyle.

Jonas learns to play the guitar as a child at first, claissical guitar; later on als Trombone, to complete the family brass-quartette. As his mother is a violin-teacher stringed instruments were mainly avoided in th ebeginning .... but later he starts to play Trombone a school-orchestras and bigbands.

First lessons on Jazzguitar and Improvisation with Jochen and Werner Pöhlert. Very soon he switches to double-bass.

As a double-bassplayer he wins first prices at "Jugend jazzt" and regional Talentshows. Nowadays he is also working as Freelance-bassplayer in the Frankfurt Jazzscene; Housebassplayer of the "Jazzkeller Jam-Sessions"; Bassplayer in Bands from Swing to Modern, Theaterproduktions.
