The Trio had the great honor of being nominated at The German Jazz Prize, 2023 in the category “Instrumental Album of the Year, International”
In this musical meeting, a unique expression is created in harmony by three dynamic and creatively creative musicians. Christina Dahl Trio consists of three individual artists, each one with great personality, and together they create an original universe of compositional music and improvisation. The trio is not afraid of experimenting with the musical expression and to seek out the nooks and crannies of the musical landscape. The music has a spectrum of sound facets and expresses itself from the simple lyrical to the more complex layers of musical lines and pulse. The trio thrives in its span and adventurous stories are told and put to life in this musical tone universe that is intuitively conveyed and ranges from deep, inner peace to chaos and wildness - clear, beautiful moments to smoldering, intense and whimsical colors of foggy ...

The Trio had the great honor of being nominated at The German Jazz Prize, 2023 in the category “Instrumental Album of the Year, International”
In this musical meeting, a unique expression is created in harmony by three dynamic and creatively creative musicians. Christina Dahl Trio consists of three individual artists, each one with great personality, and together they create an original universe of compositional music and improvisation. The trio is not afraid of experimenting with the musical expression and to seek out the nooks and crannies of the musical landscape. The music has a spectrum of sound facets and expresses itself from the simple lyrical to the more complex layers of musical lines and pulse. The trio thrives in its span and adventurous stories are told and put to life in this musical tone universe that is intuitively conveyed and ranges from deep, inner peace to chaos and wildness - clear, beautiful moments to smoldering, intense and whimsical colors of foggy tone language. The music is composed by Christina Dahl and is created from inner pictures and storylines. The music is portrayed by the trio in a mutual, organic, musical image that reflects the eternal dynamics and changeability of the human and life.
The first album with The Trio was released by Zack´s Music, 2021-22.

The album includes a book of poems by Christina for each composition, interpreted by photographer Maria Sattrup and graphic designer Mark Gry Christiansen in a most beautiful manner. The book will give the music another dimension and is an integral part of the album release.
The release of the album and the book is supported by the Danish Arts Foundation, DJBFA, Dansk Kapelmesterforening and KODA Kultur.

"Soft toned and breathy tenor saxist Christina Dahl creates Givenchy impressions". - George W. Harris, Jazz weekly
”… with her compositions, the band works with the music that moves near the edge of the free, but always with a strong sense of a stylistic lifeline. It’s an explosive recipe that lasts longer than you might think” - Christian Munch-Hansen fra Politiken
"The music is expressive, energetic and explosive. It’s unpredictable, dynamic, multi faceted, sensory saturated, but also still with a clear lyrical lightness” - Ivan Rod, Gaffa
"Christina Dahl brings us a unique sound package of European Classical and American Jazz combined to form greater freedom of expression in a trio setting. The three are free to create new musical sounds with movement while guided by clear themes and structures. Souls of the Wind is highly recommended if you enjoy third stream, electronic music, and classical influences in improvised group settings being guided by strong composed melodies and modern harmonic colors." - Jazzsensibilities.com
