Antonio Dayyani Sextet – Organisme Release Tour

Antonio Dayyani (born 2000) began his journey as a composer and bandleader in 2022 with his debut album Herfra kan det kun gå to veje, and has since toured extensively with his music and sextet at venues and festivals in Denmark and across Europe.

The music performed by Dayyani’s sextet is vivid proof that something truly special can emerge when differences are given space, drawing listeners towards jazz, Americana, rock, gentle melancholy, lively improvisation and much more.

Both his debut Herfra kan det kun gå to veje (2022) and its follow-up Trop op (2024) were named by Jazznyt among the year’s 10 best Danish jazz releases, while music from both albums has been regularly featured on DR P8 and numerous international radio stations.

The Danish drummer with the Iranian surname is now ready with his third album, Organisme, a musical and poetic portrait of the sensing, feeling human being that truly sets Dayyani free as both drummer and composer. To mark the release, Antonio Dayyani Sextet is embarking on a release tour in Denmark and Germany and looks forward to transforming Svanekegaarden into a musical space of freedom filled with presence, curiosity and love.
