Amalie Dahl’s Dafnie – Star Op Med Solen

Although saxophonist Amalie Dahl is Danish, she founded her band Dafnie in the Trondheim scene and now lives in Oslo, so she sees herself primarily as part of Norwegian contemporary jazz. With their second album, the quintet have truly finally earned the topographical seal of quality. With its cinematic scope, at times restrained, moving and infused with ambient sounds, at times with screeching brass and furious rhythms, “Står op med solen” questions the familiar and the ordinary in the best Trondheim tradition, without ever becoming didactic.
