| Molde International Jazz
Festival, the largest and oldest of
the Norwegian jazz festivals, was
founded in 1961. For 6 days in
July, the westcoast town of
Molde, transforms to a venue for a
lively festival.
During the festival we present 80
ticketed concerts at 15 different
venues and sell ca. 30.000 tickets.
The indoor venues have a capacity
of 80-900 guests, the outdoor
venue at The Museum of Romsdal
takes 8000.
On two outdoor venues, in the
town centre, we present 50 concerts
for free and attract a great
number of spectators. Approximately
100.000 people are visiting
the town during the festival.
The festival presents all styles in
jazz from New Orelans to avant
garde. Over the years "all" big
names in jazz have visited Molde -
Miles Davis, Keith Jarrett, Oscar
Peterson, Herbie Hancock,
Ornette Coleman and some great
blues, r& b and rock artists like BB
King, Eric Clapton, Stevie Wonder,
Ray Charles and Lauryn Hill.
