Norvald Dahl - Solo piano
With suggestive rhythms and sharp harmonies, jazz pianist and Herøy native Norvald Dahl will take us on a hypnotic and beautiful journey via 88 white and black keys. The music is freely improvised over his own compositions and lies at the intersection of jazz, folk tunes, pop, and modern classicism.
"Dahl possesses an advanced sense of sound. When he is accompanied by a piano that gives him all the answers he seeks, 'Flying High' becomes an excursion filled with musical lyricism, where sources of inspiration like Bill Evans, Keith Jarrett, and Helge Lien shine through without being overpowering. Improvisation and jazz are predominant in his expression, but folk music and classical music have clearly also been present for Dahl..."
– Tor Hammerø
In 2019, Dahl released the album Flying High, and has since developed it further while touring both in Norway as well as in Spain, Germany, and France. With support from the Arts Council Norway and FFUK, he will perform a total of 16 concerts in 2024! Here is a recording from a solo concert in Cologne, April 2024: Solo Concert
