Norwegian trumpeter (born 1960) known for blending jazz trumpet with electronics and ambient influences; associated with nu-jazz and noted in reviews for moving between ECM-style jazz and more electronic club-influenced sounds.

Born in 1960 (mentioned in reviews). Reviews cite collaborations with Gary Peacock, David Sylvian and Bill Laswell. Reviews note he moved from ECM-style releases toward electronic/jazz fusion and that he created his own label around the time of NP3 (as mentioned in the live review).

Reviews praise Molvær's blending of trumpet-led jazz with electronics and ambient influences. Live shows are described as danceable and atmospheric. Albums singled out include NP3 and Hamada for their electronic and ambient textures.

For:Fans of nu-jazz, electronic/ambient jazz, and trumpet-led experimental music.

 A great concert: a confirmation of an artist who knows how to make electronic jazz that can appeal to the most discerning tastes, despite the influences of club rhythms.

 I wonder how the hell I managed to live without him, until yesterday.

 "Hamada" is ambient, it is liquid music, created to oxygenate the mind, to traverse the desert that surrounds us inside and out, to remain immobile in front of the beauty of an instant, it is made to live or return to live.
