Sara Aldén
Sara Aldén’s album debuts in the spring of 2024 with original compositions of jazz with a focus on intimacy, grand crescendos and the end of everything. She is described as the creator of “jazz on life and death”.
In the upcoming debut album “There is no future” (Naxos, Prophone, March 2024), Sara Aldén and her trio show a massive sinkhole in the history of jazz, where doom-filled compositions are interspersed with dizzying arpeggios and sound worlds that reflect the end of all as we know it. She made her EP debut in 2022 with the critically acclaimed “A Room of One’s Own” where she explored the norm and form of jazz with her very own expression and musical language. With musical sound heroes such as Lina Nyberg, Gretchen Parlato, Esbjörn Svensson Trio and Tigran Hamasyan, Sara creates broad brushstrokes for how jazz sounds in 2024.
Sara has previously played with musicians such as Anders Jormin, Malin Wättring and Martin Sjöstedt and performed her release concert together with Lina Nyberg at Skeppet on June 3, 2022. Sara has received the Fredrika Bremer scholarship and the Royal Academy of Music’s local scholarships.
