Daniel Stahre

Gothenburg-based pianist and songwriter Daniel Stahre will release the upcoming album Margin Call II this year 2024. The upcoming album marks the second album in the “Margin Call”-call series. This time, alongside Stahre on piano and composition, we find drummer Erik Bodin (Little Dragon), bass player Viktor Turegård (Franska Trion) and guitarist Martin Friedlitz. 

The music is lyrical, fine-tuned and melodious and in between folk music, film music, jazz and pop. Touching instrumental pop, yet progressive and deeply rooted in the Nordics, the songs resonates with the legacy of Swedish piano pioneers such as Jan Johansson, Lars Jansson and Bobo Stenson.

Margin Call is an interesting term used in the financial industry when one has exceeded their credit margin and needs to cover or close their positions. The term hints that we as humans, create notions of our reality that can be difficult to break - until it finally breaks. 

The album is recorded and produced by the recurring Åke Linton, famous for producing many albums of Esbjörn Svensson Trio. The first two songs on the album are released as singles and mixed in Dolby Atmos. 

Background: Classically trained modern jazz pianist, active in Stockholm during the 2010's writing and playing music in various pop bands. Active in Gothenburg.

Previous music: Has previously released Margin Call (2022) on AMP Music & Records and the debut album Notes (2014) on the record company Strangers Candy, under the name Daniel Westin Quartet, which was met with good reviews in the Swedish daily press and played frequently on Danish jazz radio. 

Genre: Instrumental Music / Jazz
