Nils Petter Molvaer signs to Edition Records
Edition Records is thrilled to announce the signing of internationally recognised Norwegian artist Nils Petter Molvaer – a sonic rebel whose fearless reinvention of European and Nordic jazz has left an indelible mark on the musical landscape. In a new era, Nils Petter is set to unveil an ambitious release schedule in 2025, featuring three remarkable albums:
BUOYANCY — The new album
Buoyancy follows on from his last album Switch, and features the same quartet of musicians. Molvaer sallies forth on a journey through the horizontal, vertical and temporal.

New album Stitches out now!
On «Stitches», Molvær collaborates with drummer Erland Dahlen, bassist Jo Berger Myhre and guitarist Johan Lindstrøm. The recording process started at Ocean Sound Recordings on the island of Giske, but then the pandemic forced the musicians to exchange further ideas over the Internet, until the album was sewn together and mixed by Molvær and Jon Marius Aareskjold at Kysten Studio in Tromsø. The musicians were given full artistic freedom, so the album is very much about trusting other people, and giving room to let people shine.
