NILS PETTER MOLVAER BIO Nils Petter Molvaer nasce nell’isola di Sula in Norvegia nel 1960. All’eta’ di diciannove anni, inizia a studiare musica e tromba nel Conservatorio di Trondheim. Poco dopo si unisce al gruppo “Masqualero” (con Arild Andersen, Jon Christensen e Tore Brunborg). Dopo svariati dischi pubblicati da ECM, Molvaer esordisce con il suo primo album da trombettista solista e compositore per ECM, Khmer – questo si presenta come una fusione di jazz, rock, ambientazioni elettroniche, e beats hip- hop, uno stile diverso rispetto alle atmosfere rarefatte delle precedenti registrazioni. Per la prima volta la ECM fa uscire dei singoli, sequiti da remix (Ligotage, ad esempio). Nel 2000 Molvaer registra e pubblica un secondo disco da solista, sempre per ECM, Solid Ether, poi lascia l’etichetta. Negli anni seguenti Molvaer pubblica un album di remix di Solid Ether (“Recoloured”), poi un terzo album, questa volta per Universal Music, “NP3”, nel quale espande I temi e le tecniche relative al trattamento della tromba elettrificata, poi ancora due lavori live, un DVD (“Molvaer Live”) ed un disco (“Streamer”). Negli anni seguenti (2003- 2005) Molvaer si dedica alle colonne sonore, per il teatro (“Fantasmi” di Ibsen) e per il cinema (“Edy”, una commedia di Stephan Guerin-Tillie’). Nel 2005 pubblica “ER” suo quarto disco studio, poi, nel 2008 “Re-Vision” disco di out-takes e, piu’ recentemente, nel 2009 l’acclamato “Hamada”. Negli anni Nils Petter Molvaer si e’ distinto, oltreche’ per il suo lavoro eccelso da solista anche per svariate collaborazioni presenti nei dischi di Sidsel Endresen, Jon Balke, Marilyn Mazur, Bill Laswell/Jah Wobble, Arild Andersen, Hector Zazou, Eraldo Bernocchi, Kjetil Bjornstad e Martin France. .

Norway's Jazz Identity by © 2019 Ashley Hirt MA
Mountain Sound: Norway’s Jazz Identity By © 2019 Ashley Hirt M.A., University of Idaho, 2011 B.A., Pittsburg State University, 2009 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Musicology and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Musicology. __________________________ Chair: Dr. Roberta Freund Schwartz __________________________ Dr. Bryan Haaheim __________________________ Dr. Paul Laird __________________________ Dr. Sherrie Tucker __________________________ Dr. Ketty Wong-Cruz The dissertation committee for Ashley Hirt certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: _____________________________ Chair: Date approved: ii Abstract Jazz musicians in Norway have cultivated a distinctive sound, driven by timbral markers and visual album aesthetics that are associated with the cold mountain valleys and fjords of their home country. This jazz dialect was developed in the decade following the Nazi occupation of Norway, when Norwegians utilized jazz as a subtle tool of resistance to Nazi cultural policies. This dialect was further enriched through the Scandinavian residencies of African American free jazz pioneers Don Cherry, Ornette Coleman, and George Russell, who tutored Norwegian saxophonist Jan Garbarek. Garbarek is credited with codifying the “Nordic sound” in the 1960s and ‘70s through his improvisations on numerous albums released on the ECM label. Throughout this document I will define, describe, and contextualize this sound concept. Today, the Nordic sound is embraced by Norwegian musicians and cultural institutions alike, and has come to form a significant component of modern Norwegian artistic identity. This document explores these dynamics and how they all contribute to a Norwegian jazz scene that continues to grow and flourish, expressing this jazz identity in a world marked by increasing globalization.

REGNSKAP 03 ÅRET SOM HAR GÅTT Nasjonal jazzscene - Victoria hadde en meget god start på 2020. 11. januar til 11. mars står igjen som en av våre sterkeste perioder. Mange konserter solgte flere billetter enn ventet, og særlig gledelig var det å se et økende publikumstall på de smalere konsertene. Programmet i denne perioden hadde en flott bredde, fra unge talenter til etablerte verdensstjerner, fra storbandfrijazz, kunstpop, elektrojoik til mainstream. 12. mars ble det brått slutt. Dette var starten på, for oss som for alle andre, en krevende tid. I en uoversiktlig og ukjent situasjon satte vi i hovedsak i gang med å flytte konserter for å gi så mange artister som mulig en ny konsertdato.

Tore Brunborg Slow Snow ACT 9586-2 German release date: April 24th, 2015 Still waters run deep And the admiration for Brunborg goes further than Manu Katché, in 2012 he was honoured with the On a per-capita basis, no other country in the world "Buddyprisen", Norway's most prestigious jazz award. spawns more top-class jazz musicians than Brunborg now proves his worth one yet again on "Slow Norway. Jan Garbarek is the guiding star, but it was also Snow", an album that exclusively showcases his own the second generation born in the 60s that helped "Nordic compositions. It is characterised by the interweaving of Jazz" to global notoriety: Nils Petter Molvær, Bugge closeness and distance, relaxation and compaction, Wesseltoft, Geir Lysne, Eivind Aarset and saxophonist Tore eccentricity and simplicity, of electronic and natural sounds. Brunborg. Although highly respected in the Norwegian jazz Especially the contrast between the entirely reduced, almost scene, Brunborg has until now been known internationally gnarly bass rhythms and motifs and the warm and lyrical as a sideman, however this year, the 54 year-old brings out saxophone lines that lend pieces like "History" and "Tree his own international release, his ACT debut "Slow Snow". Strong, Tall Swaying, Swinging, Sighing" (a title that borders on an allegorical description of the song's The fact that he has not stepped into the limelight contents) an inspired, powerful flow that grabs you and until now may be due to Brunborg's unassuming doesn't let go. Brunborg selected his fellow campaigners and halcyon character. He grew up in the introspective for the record carefully: on the drums the 46 year-old Per and placid Voss, a town of 7000 inhabitants on the banks of Oddvar Johansen, a five-time winner of the Lake Vangsvatnet just north of the city of Bergen, "Spellemannprisen" (the Norwegian Grammy), who has surrounded by mountains, forests and waterfalls.
