Amalie Dahl's Dafnie

Amalie Dahl’s Dafnie is an energetic and expressive band from Norway, led by Oslo based saxophone player and composer Amalie Dahl. The quintet colour her strong, melodic compositions with playfulness and convincing weight. What we hear is harmonic yet avant-garde, with references to both old school, free jazz and modern contemporary reed-led bands. But rest assured, Dafnie is something of its own.

The band contains five well-known names from the Norwegian jazz scene, also known from other award-winning projects like Kongle Trio, Bliss, I like to sleep, We don’t Imagine Anymore, Hedvig Mollestad’s Tempest Revisited and Trondheim Jazz Orchestra, among others.
