Amalie Dahl



Visceral improvised magic was captured live in München in 2025 by this ever in-shape trio. Not at all stunted by the inherent baggage of the classic sax, bass and drum format, this group has explored new directions since day one together. Their albums and performances being dubbed “pressure cooker music” and “kinetic jazz” by reviewers and concert goers. Do not miss it!

Recorded live at Offene Ohren, March 2025.

Mixed by Jomar Jeppsson Søvik.

Coverart by Henrik Sandstad Dalen.

Great news!

“happy happy j***a blå” by HAPPY BLUE comes out on Nice Things Records October 16! Available on CD and streaming.

Aptly named, this Norwegian quartet brings a lovely and eclectic mix of exploratory jazz, melancholy folk, danceable groove and ear-itching skronk to the table on their debut album “happy happy j***a blå”. Martin Haukedal’s guitar sound smells like equal parts funky John Scofield, hardanger fiddle and early 2000’s mall-punk. Backed by the unwavering bass notes of Uma Morelia Bustos Reksten, the highly reactive and sensible Markus Kristiansen on drums and Wouter Torringa’s longing bowed work on viola and violin, the result is a stunning debut album, seemingly naive but full of wisdom.

A nice in depth review of Bergstrøm/Funderud - The Horse from Tore Stavlund. Thank you very much!

"Likevel deler de hans – og Brancas og Moores – vilje til å utforske gitarens muligheter i overlappet mellom avantgardistisk improvisasjon, eksperimentell rock og klangflateorientert spill. Små intervenerende riff og figurer får utvikle seg i vekselvis intrikate og mer rett-fram rytmiske mønstre. Og gjennom kassettens elleve spor, med sitt kompositoriske spenn av ideer og strategier som de kan de jobbe med, representerer de den elektriske gitaren som et fortsatt åpent undersøkelsesfelt."
