My review of the 2013 Molde International Jazz Festival, today at All About Jazz.


With a broad range of artists including Artist in Residence Jason Moran, Charles Lloyd with Moran (duo) and Sangam, new commissions from Terje Rypdal and Maria Kannegaard incendiary sets from Bushman's Revenge & Friends, Stian Westerhus' new Pale Horses group, Obara International Quartet, Take Five Europe and Paal Nilssen-Love's Large Unit, along with sublime shows including Bill Frisell's Big Sur Sextet,Jason Moran & Jan Bang and more, it was a fitting send off for festival producer Jan Ole Otnęs who, after 13 years in Molde, is relocating to Oslo to take over the Nasjonal Jazzscene Victoria.
