“The affable and sometimes extroverted music of Mulelid shatters the popular misconception that all contemporary Scandinavian piano trios are trapped in a glacial echo chamber” – Jazz Journal

Since their 2017 debut on the prestigious Rune Grammofon label, the Kjetil Mulelid Trio has distinguished itself as one of Norway’s leading piano trios. While they do travel quite comfortably in the calm yet constantly unfolding sound world that is distinctively Nordic, Mulelid, bassist Rune Nergaard and drummer Andreas Winther, effortlessly conjure additional layers, tones and textures that evoke Keith Jarrett and Bill Evans, while veering off on surprising, telepathically-linked group improvisations that call upon each player’s broad creative experience.

Called “magical” by The Wire, Mulelid’s beguiling compositions expertly balance energetic, rhythmically complex and harmonically rich music with refreshing, evocative melodies.
