AADAL
is where Scandinavian jazz meets the wide-open soundscapes of Americana, post-rock, and indie. With lyrical melodies, atmospheric textures, and a deep sense of groove, the band crafts music that is both cinematic and intimate.

Led by guitarist Michael Aadal, the quartet features André Kassen (saxophone), Audun Ramo (bass), and Gunnar Sæter (drums) – all seasoned musicians on the Norwegian jazz scene. Together, they blend improvisation with strong melodic lines and spacious arrangements, creating a distinctive sound that resonates with fans of both jazz and instrumental rock.

Their debut album Silver (2021) received critical acclaim for its genre-crossing sound, and their live performances have been praised for their emotional depth and dynamic interplay.

With roots in jazz and branches reaching into the vast terrain of modern instrumental music, AADAL continues to push boundaries – inviting listeners on a journey through soundscapes both familiar and unexplored.
