Nils Petter Molvær，挪威小号手、作曲家与制作人，融汇爵士、氛围音乐、浩室电子、碎拍等多种风格，兼收嘻哈、摇滚与流行音乐元素，举重若轻地重塑出极具深度又充满戏剧张力的独特声景。

他 1997 年的个人专辑 Khmer 至今仍是 ECM 商业上最成功、最具影响力的唱片之一，获得了超越爵士圈的热烈赞誉。这张里程碑式的专辑被公认为爵士乐向数字时代演进的分水岭，也奠定了 Molvær 作为九十年代欧洲新爵士运动领军人物之一的地位。

Molvær 的音乐创作既汲取了斯堪的纳维亚的自然诗意，又融入了电子声效的精密编排，同时还受到 Miles Davis 和 Jon Hassell 等先驱的深刻影响，但最重要的是——他始终忠于自我。聆听他演奏，你会轻易忘记，那原本是一支小号。

Norwegian trumpet player, composer, and producer Nils Petter Molvær takes multiple music styles such as jazz, ambient, house, electronic and break beats, as well as elements from hip hop, rock and pop music, and effortlessly reshapes them into unique and dramatic soundscapes of deep intensity.

His 1997 album Khmer was a landmark release that remains one of ECM’s most commercially successful and influential releases, gaining critical acclaim beyond jazz circles. It is frequently cited as a watershed for jazz’s evolution in the digital age, and established Molvær’s reputation as one of the leading voices of the new European jazz movement of the 90s.

Molvær has his own very individual sound, influenced as much by the poetry of Scandinavian nature as by electronic calculation, and last but not least by colleagues like Miles Davis and Jon Hassell. But more than anything else, Molvær has himself. Listening to him play, it’s easy to forget that his instrument is a trumpet.
