Drawn to solid bass lines, he naturally gravitated towards dub artists like Jah Wobble and Sly & Robbie, while his taste for sophistication led him to record with drummer Manu Katché and work on film soundtracks. His insatiable curiosity has also brought him into contact with top international beatmakers, resulting in a series of noteworthy remixes. Performing in April 2025 at the Gretchen, a club in Berlin’s Kreuzberg district, the Norwegian artist and composer avoids excess in favor of stylistic simplicity. Backed by a rhythmic duo that is precise and never overpowering, the jazzman opens the set with an irresistible melody layered with mystical percussion and bells. What follows is a series of stratospheric tracks interspersed with compelling breaks, with sonic textures that at times recall the dreamlike explorations of fellow trumpeter Jon Hassell. Enhanced by stunning lighting in blues and reds, Molvær’s performance is most impressive for its ability to create powerful atmospheres – especially evident in the concert’s finale and his deliberately pared-back playing.
