Vigorous and lyrical eight-piece
The octet is sometimes referred to as ‘the composer's band’: It’s the sound palette of a small big band, coupled with the pace and flexibility of a quartet. With Wolf Valley, Eyolf Dale finally takes the step up and out into the big world!
Along with seven other outstanding musicians from the very top shelf of jazz, he clearly enjoys himself in the large format with some incredibly fine tunes that balance perfectly between subtlety and unrestrained punch. Rarely has it been more appropriate to cry wolf, wolf! This is a band you can’t afford to miss.
