Nils Petter Molvaer: er
by John Kelman
With Khmer (ECM, 1997) Norwegian trumpeter Nils Petter Molvaer almost singlehandedly introduced a new movement in the electronica-based nu jazz arena that would come to be known as “future jazz." Blending a group approach to improvisation with contemporary sampling and programming technologies, Molvaer creates hypnotic ambient soundscapes with compelling rhythms. Music for the body? Unequivocally. But ...
Nils Petter Molvaer: Live at Rockefeller Center in Oslo
by Mark Sabbatini
A new Ferrari with a bunch of dents is still a pretty nice gift. Norwegian trumpet modernist Nils Petter Molvaer is offering its acoustical equivalent in an hour-long concert video recently posted free at his web site. It's a large file (291MB) that may frustrate novices trying to save it on their computers, and ...

Nils Petter Molvaer: Solid Ether
by Chris M. Slawecki
Norwegian trumpet player Nils Petter Molvær captures himself in a swirling electronic nightmare of his own creation on Solid Ether (ECM). A stunning meltdown of classic jazz trumpet styles with modern techno, drum-and-bass and electronic music, Solid Ether continues and expands the stylish deviltry of Khamer, Molvær’s debut as a leader for ECM in 1998. Khamer ...

Nils Petter Molvaer: Khmer
by Douglas Payne
Norwegian trumpeter Nils Petter Molvær's solo debut is a technospheric curiosity that suitably brings together the melodic grooves of William Orbit and the evocative ambiance of Mark Isham. Molvær, a new name to me, has actually been around for nearly two decades--as a member of the Scandinavian group Masqualero and in addition to working in both ...
