Ernst Reijseger (Bussum NL, 1954) starts playing the cello at the age of eight. From the early 70s he becomes involved in improvised music, playing with Sean Bergin, Martin van Duynhoven, Derek Bailey, Michael Moore, Alan Purves, and Franky Douglas.
He is a long-time member of the Theo Loevendie Consort, the Guus Janssen Septet and the Amsterdam String Trio. In 1985 he receives the major Dutch jazz-award, the Boy Edgar Prijs "because he is an important innovator in the field of improvised music... Ernst Reijseger plays the cello with an unrivalled craftsmanship and uses his talent enthusiastically to further the development of improvised music... The humor of his unexpected musical turns and the original and unconventional use he makes of his instrument add to the accesibility of his music."
He plays with Misha Mengelberg's ICP orchestra, the Gerry Hemingway Quintet, and Trio Clusone (with Michael Moore and Han Bennink). Ernst Reijseger is frequently abroad, performing as a soloist and in a variety of international combinations, with such artists as Louis Sclavis, Trilok Gurtu, Voches de Sardinna, Franco D'Andrea and Yo-Yo Ma. A television documentary about Ernst Reijseger was made and broadcast in 1994.
