“Tender, impressive and heavenly beautiful in an utterly unpolished way—something quite rare in the classical world. (…) A golden opportunity for curious listeners to challenge their ideas about what jazz and classical song really is.” Aftenposten
“The Norwegian saxophonist and singer turned what could have been a circus act into a musical tour de force” 
The Guardian (UK)
Håkon Kornstad is an award winning Norwegian jazz saxophonist, recognised by jazz critics around the world. In 2009 he discovered his singing voice, and he finished a master’s degree at the Norwegian Opera Academy in 2014. He is now dividing his time between two almost contrasting musical genres — combining them in unprecedented ways.
“[He] miraculously drew together the worlds of opera arias and jazz expression, a rare feat of a jazz-ical crossover venture with artistic integrity and heart intact.”

“He is balancing these different elements in a way that only artists with a rare musical insight are able to do.”
