KrimQuiz

Led by the formidable bandleader, composer and saxophonist Signe Emmeluth, Emmeluth's Amoeba has in just a few years established itself as one of the most exciting names on the new Nordic jazz scene. The Danish-Norwegian quartet moves freely through the elastic landscape between improvisation and composition.

Emmeluth's Amoeba

Kurt Rosenwinkel – The Remedy

Gospel-inspired soul, funk and disco from Mississippi. Closing concert of the Kongsberg Jazz Festival at Energimølla. Standing concert, a few seated places upstairs.

Annie & The Caldwells

When Hanna Paulsberg received the Kongsberg Jazz Festival's major Musician Prize in 2025, it was a clear recognition of a musician who, over many years, has helped shape and renew Norwegian jazz. Now she returns with a new project in which her music is expanded into a larger format. The music is arranged by Martin Myhre Olsen for the Oslo Jazz Ensemble, with room for both precise arrangements and free improvisation. The project is a collaboration with Østnorsk jazzsenter and is supported by the Arts Council Norway and NOPA.
