Kurt Elling – The best jazz male vocalist of our time!
With two GRAMMY awards from 16 nominations, multiple international awards and a career spanning over twenty-five years, the New York Times called Kurt Elling “The standout male jazz vocalist of our time”. He has has a 14-year run atop the DownBeat Critics and Readers polls, and has won twelve Jazz Journalists Awards for “Male Vocalist of the Year”. With accreditations like these, from both critics and the audience, one can safely applaud Elling as the best male jazz vocalist of our time. And now he’s finally returning to Trondheim!
Elling is known internationally for his unparalleled virtuosity and flair for trailblazing artistic exploration. From his stunning reinvention of timeless standards to his own captivating original songcraft, the Chicago-based musician has become more ambitious over the years. His new album “SuperBlue: The Iridescent Spree” is a kaleidoscopic collection of new songs, surprising covers and dynamic reinventions, and will definitely set the mood for the evening.

Jazzfest commissions!
We are very happy that former NTNU Ambassador Siril Malmedal Hauge wrote a commissioned work for Jazzfest, and it will finally premiere in 2025!
This is what Siril herself says about the Rhiza Song project:
"As in a web of roots, messages are sent in a network of communication - a kind of secret language. In this work, I feel like digging in the soil and getting my fingers a little dirty. Making life, fishing for fine fibers, intertwining threads, digging in roots, and looking for fertile ground for musical biotopes. I am fascinated by unique bonds between different organisms, and the belonging to each other in a world that is constantly changing."
With support from the Norwegian Composers Fund.
