Nils Petter Molvaer

Norwegian jazz musician Nils Petter Molvær might have started his career as a trumpeter, but his electronic contributions to jazz music over the years have earned him the reputation as the pioneer of “future jazz,” an eclectic form of jazz that incorporates elements from other genres, including electronic music. We recommend checking out his 1997 album Khmer to get a sense of his sound before NPM revisits Istanbul this month.
