The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble is a dark jazz group hailing from the Netherlands. Formed in 1999 in Amsterdam, the ensemble was led by Jason Köhnen and Gideon Kiers. With their unique blend of bass, drums, trombone, cello, vocals, and more, they created hauntingly beautiful music that captivated audiences.
Although officially on hiatus since late 2013, The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble left a lasting impact on the music scene. Their last lineup included talented musicians such as Hilary Jeffery on trombone, Nina Hitz on cello, Charlotte Cegarra on vocals and various instruments, Eelco Bosman on guitar and effects, and Sarah "Sadie" Anderson on violin.
Their live performances were enhanced by additional members like Eiríkur Orri Ólafsson on trumpet and sound engineer Ron Goris. They also collaborated with session musicians including Godfried Satan for vocals and Coen Kaldeway for saxophone and bass clarinet.

2021 Reissue of "Mutations" - the second work of The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble from 2009. Not existing anymore since 2012 The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble now finally makes all long-time sold out releases available again on all formats. An act combining profound musical sensibilities, deeply emotional harmonies and an acute ear for genre inter-breeding, The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble placed itself and the confluent of dusty, gritty jazz and low-end doom-laden drones, and came up with a sound which is at the same time warm and dark, brooding and misty, cinematic and dynamic.

Together with Bohren und der Club of Gore and The Dale Cooper Quartet, The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble have succeeded in creating a brand new genre of music. The 8 pieces "Mutations" are the perfect connecting link between the ensemble's S/t debut album from 2006 and their second full length "Here Be Dragons" (2009).
