Datadyr

Datadyr is a jazz trio from Bergen, Norway. The music ranges from the heartfelt and gentle to the energetic and explosive, and it’s rarely far between those extremes. During four years of studying jazz at the Grieg Academy, the inspiration that accumulated and the expression that remains today is characterized by traditional jazz, newer directions in jazz and improvised music.

Many of the songs on the debut album have their origins from the beginning of their studies, and have developed in parallel with the band. Songwriting and arranging have gradually taken a bigger part in rehearsal, while the band worked hard to retain the spontaneous and playful expression that was the starting point for the trio.
