Introducing Hedvig Mollestad Trio:
A Sonic Odyssey of Jazz-Rock Fusion
Hedvig Mollestad Trio is not your average band. Their music defies genre boundaries, captivating audiences with its uncompromising blend of jazz, rock, and everything in between.
Often described as "Jazz Sabbath," their sound is a lovechild of Mahavishnu Orchestra and Black Sabbath, with a touch of Terje Rypdal and King Crimson thrown into the mix. But labels aside, what truly sets this trio apart is their ability to make you throw your hands in the air and grin from ear to ear, or nod along with a cold beer in hand, feeling like life is at its peak.
Their live performances are legendary, exuding an energy that's infectious and a joy that's palpable. As Rolling Stone aptly puts it, "The Hedvig Mollestad Trio delivers avant-guitar adventure with an exuberant sense of occasion, live and on record. Feel free to come as you are."
Whether you're a jazz aficionado, a rock enthusiast, or simply someone who loves great music, Hedvig Mollestad Trio invites you to join them on their sonic odyssey – A journey as bone-crunchingly powerful as it is graciously poetic.

Since their inception in 2009, after Mollestad was crowned "Young Jazz Talent of the Year" at Moldejazz, the trio has been making waves both nationally and internationally. Signed to Rune Grammofon shortly after, their journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. From dingy bars to prestigious concert halls and jazz festivals, they've conquered them all. They've warmed up stages for legends like John McLaughlin and graced the lineup of renowned festivals such as Roadburn, SXSW, and Tons of Rock, to name just a few.

«As ever, primal forces are fully present in Mollestad's work, like flames to brighten the blackest sky.»

Reviews
The encapsulating live double album comes as a welcome return for one of the most perplexing and original contemporary artists in Europe today.
Presto Music (UK)
There's a lot of golden age prog and jazz rock here, adventurously exploratory and fluid, yet with a unique ability to dive into irresistible grooves and riffs that beckon the rock foot.
Dagens Næringsliv
It relentlessly moves forward, challenging boundaries and perspectives. It's brilliant.
