Nils Petter Molvær Trio

Nils Petter Molvær is one of the most prominent representatives of an electro-acoustic jazz hybrid that has grown into a genre of its own since the 1990s. Within this field, which is sometimes referred to as "future jazz" or "nu jazz", the Norwegian composer is both a pioneer and a veteran, as he was one of the first jazz musicians to incorporate the emerging digital and electronic tendencies into his work around the year 2000. With his significant sound, which brings together melancholic trumpet sounds with dynamic electronic soundscapes, Molvær has achieved heavyweight status in paving a way forward for the genre into a new age - while remaining connected to his jazz past.
His latest release, Stitches, is in no way inferior. Through his fearlessness in exploring new sounds and emotions, Molvær shows once again that jazz not only has a future, but one that is both bright and exciting.
