Kjetil Mulelid, Solo Piano

Kjetil Mulelid's various projects have received international acclaim, ranging from his duo with Siril Malmedal Hauge, his trio, and the quartet Wako.

His first solo album, "Piano" (Rune Grammofon, 2021) received plaudits that placed him in the same company as pianists like Keith Jarret, Brad Mehldau, and Bill Evans. His latest project "Agoja", demonstrates what a musician and composer worthy of such acclaim can do with an ensemble cast of musicians of the highest calibre. The leading jazz magasin Jazzwise named it “A modern Nordic Masterpiece”, and HIFI+ magazine named it “a vision of truth and beauty”.

Mulelid's music is a series of beautiful and harmonious compositions that Mulelid has written, which are formed intuitively through his improvisational and spontaneous way of playing. With a desire to tell a story in every musical stanza, he treats each song like a blank canvas and paints with his melodies and a natural rhythmic flow in the playful music.

“A striking, transcendent album that I expect to return to endlessly” - Further

“Mulelid’s melodic themes are simply gorgeous & his playing, with its subtle balance of right hand melody and left hand rhythm, is superb throughout.” - TheJazzMann

“It’s jazz because it’s not any of the more limiting genres, in truth Agoja is a vision of truth and beauty” - HIFI+
