Eva Kruse (born 16 October 1978) is a German jazz musician (upright bass, bass guitar) and composer.

Biography

Kruse was raised in Brunsbek in Schleswig-Holstein. In her childhood and youth, she received eleven years of classical piano lessons and at the age of fourteen, at the suggestion of a teacher, began to learn the bass guitar. She played in the school big band and the Bargteheider Vorstadtkrokodilen. After she was admitted to the Landesjugend-Jazz-Orchester Schleswig-Holstein at the age of 18, she decided to switch to upright bass. In 1998 Kruse moved to Berlin, to study at the Universität der Künste with Sigi Busch, Jerry Granelli and David Friedman with the double bass as the main instrument "Jazz / Improvisation". In 2000, she refined her technical playing on double bass during a semester abroad in Gothenburg with Anders Jormin. She also took courses with John Taylor, who encouraged her to write her own compositions for various occupations. Her musical role models on the double bass include Dave Holland, Gary Peacock and Anders Jormin.
