Happy New Year to all our friends! We start the year with good news - namely that Jazzfest is entering its 35th festival year as part of the Balansemerket scheme, under the auspices of Balansekunst.

Managing director Ernst Wiggo says the following:

- Trondheim Jazz Festival is concerned with equality and diversity. The entire organization and programming must reflect awareness of this. Taking the Balansemerket is a fine demonstration that we distance ourselves from sexual harassment, discrimination and other unwanted behaviour. (...) The festival must work continuously with attitude-creating work at all levels: volunteering, collaboration partners, suppliers, artists, staff and board.

t this year's Christmas Jazz we present:
Bjørn Alterhaug Trio // Anne-Lise Heide Band // Feetwarmers // Heidi Skjerve //
Nypan Trio // Kibakaya/Steinkopf Duo // Sverre Sæbø Trio // Pangea // Trøndelag Big Band // Hildegunn Øiseth and Frode Fjellheim // Elisabeth Nygaard-Pearson //
ARABA // Mambo Compañeros // Anna Berentina Røe Band // JaZZmaZZørene // Mona Krogstad 6 // Hogne Kleiberg Trio

There is no doubt - this will be the biggest happening of Christmas!

The festival's first artist has arrived in Trondheim and Jazzfest 2022! General Manager Ernst Wiggo was of course present to welcome the American star - Kyle Eastwood himself!

Yes, it's Clint's son .. And yes, he's playing a concert tomorrow night! During the day we will also get to know him better in our Fokus series, where he will be interviewed about his relationship with film and music at Cinemateket at 2:30pm.

We congratulate Bjørn Alterhaug and John Pål Inderberg with the King's Medal of Merit! Mayor Rita Ottervik was responsible for the solemn award, and Jazzfest is a very proud organizer of this big event. The men of honor have lifted the cultural city of Trondheim for a total of 106 years!

Vebjørn skal ta for seg låtkatalogen til vår egen superstjerne Astrid S og gi låtene ny drakt for stortalentene i NTNU Jazzensemble.
