Copenhagen-based ALAWARI is a six-piece instrumental ensemble whose music blends jazz, contemporary classical, and experimental expression into a richly layered sonic landscape. Founded in 2016, the group quickly rose to prominence in Denmark’s young jazz scene after winning the Young Jazz competition that same year.
Their latest album Leviathan from 2024 takes the listener on a spiritual journey, where symphonic grandeur meets quiet vulnerability. Close-mic’d saxophone breaths, mournful trumpet melodies, and thunderous rhythm sections weave together into a tapestry that at times swells to orchestral proportions.
