Amalie Dahl

Amalie Dahl is a Danish saxophone player, composer and bandleader, currently based in Oslo (Norway) who has made a solid impression on the Nordic jazz scene with her distinct sound and strong integrity both as an improvising musician and as an impressive composer. During the last couple of years she has been highly visible through critically acclaimed projects, such as her own Amalie Dahl’s Dafnie, winning single of the year at the Danish Music Awards Jazz with a track from their album ”Står op med solen” (Sonic Transmission/Aguirre, 2024). She’s also active in bands such as Treen, SUPERSPREDER, Dahl/Dalen/Søvik, Trondheim Jazz Orchestra and Ingebright Håker Flaten’s (Exit) Knarr - to mention a few. “She’s been in our sights since the release of her quintet Dafnie’s first album in 2022. On stage, Amalie Dahl doesn’t assert herself forcefully, but with a clear and captivating purpose. Her maturity is surprising: four albums released since late 2023 prove it. Her solo “Memories”, Baob from the trio Treen, “Live In Europe” by the trio Dahl, Dalen, Søvik, and Dafnie’s second album, accompanied by a European tour. The quintet, a sort of dream team of this new Scandinavian generation, seems unable to disappoint. And if, for Dahl, friendship and work are the keys to this precocity, we can, after this encounter, add that artistic vision and honesty are also guarantees of success.” – Citizen Jazz, April 2024 More info: https://amaliedahl.com/
