Since then he has released 5 albums in his own name. The latest, Connections (2023) is a collaboration with oud-player Bilal Irshed that merges nordic jazz harmonies and middle-eastern flavors. Among his releases are also two albums with the septet Fiil Free, a group that gathers some of the most prolific improvisers on the european jazz scene, and two widely acclaimed albums with his trio Frit Fald.
Besides his own projects, Lars Fiil is active on the Danish music scene in a number of different groups. Among others in the very popular indiejazz-outfit I Think You’re Awesome.
