:::::::::::::::::::
Dahl/Dalen/Søvik is an improvising trio based in Oslo. With backgrounds in free jazz, noise and avantgarde they play music in the tradition of modern free improvisation, inspired by Anthony Braxton, Mette Rasmussen, Ingebrigt Håker Flaten ect.
In January 2024 they released their second album “Live in Europe” on Nice Things Records. A double CD album featuring live recordings from Prague and Brussels.
The trio consists of Amalie Dahl (Dafnie, Trondheim Jazz Orchestra) on alto saxophone, Henrik Sandstad Dalen (Sex Magick Wizards) on double bass, and Jomar Jeppsson Søvik (Giga My) on drums. All three of them are central figures in the vibrant community for improvised music in Oslo.
Their debut album “Fairytales for Daydreamers” came out March 3rd 2023 on Nice Things Records. A live recording from the first ever time they played together, the listener gets to experience the trio’s immediate chemistry through a lively and adventurous 45 minute set. As if they were already old friends, they move confidently through polite introductions, interrogations, deep conversations and heated arguments before at last they reach tender reconciliation. Following the release the band toured Europe, visiting Prague, Cologne, Brussels and Oslo.
“(…) It is a sympathetic meeting, unsurprisingly Dahl/Dalen/Søvik is a trio that has moved on to play more concerts in Norway and Europe. (…)”
