Agnes Darelid is a trombonist and composer based in Stockholm, Sweden. ’RISE’ is her debut album, a springboard towards the future but also a look back at everything that shaped her. With lyrical melodies, driving rhythms and colorful harmonies, she paints a musical landscape that is very much Agnes. The compositions have a strong anchoring in modern jazz but with equal inspiration from everything from choral music to pop, soul and rock. The music often takes direct inspiration from events in life, feelings and thoughts that have emerged during the journey. In recent years, Agnes Darelid has worked extensively on the music scenes, both locally in Stockholm as well as in Sweden in general, both under her name and as an often hired sideman. She has been seen in several contexts and genres such as with Loke Risberg Vilddjur Septett, Norrbotten Big Band, Bohuslän Big Band, Beat Company and Radiojazzgruppen. In 2021 she was one of the participants in Bohuslän Big Band’s project “Up & Coming Jazz Talents”, and in 2023 one of those selected to represent Sweden in EBU’s Euroradio Jazz Orchestra.
