Norwegian pianist and composer, Eyolf Dale (b.1985) is known
from both his solo work, successful collaborations with a great number of jazz
artists, and from renowned bands like
Eyolf Dale's Wolf Valley ,
Albatrosh , Daniel Herskedal
, Hayden Powell Trio , Trondheim Jazz Orchestra , and more. He is
active on the European jazz scene as a touring and frequently recorded artist,
and since his solo debut in 2011, Dale has established himself as one of the
leading pianists of his generation.
Both as a sideman and a solo performer, he has performed all
over Europe, as well as tours in the USA, Japan and China. Dale's solo work
shows the mature lyrical introspection that is often associated with Norwegian
jazz, but equally there is an explorative curiosity and restless free elements
that are becoming an emerging hallmark of the younger Nordic improvisers.
He was nominated for the Norwegian Grammy equivalent, the
Game Man Prize both in 2013 and 2016 for his solo albums. With the duo
Albatrosh, he was awarded "Young jazz musicians of the year 2008" in
the prestigious JazzIntro, and the duo was also awarded "Best Band" in
European Jazz Competition in 2010 (North Sea Jazz, Rotterdam)
Dale currently releases his solo work exclusively on Edition
Records.
