about
Håkon Kornstad is a Norwegian jazz saxophonist who is best known for his innovative solo concerts, where he layers saxophone with a loop machine and creates spontaneous compositions. His playing is inspired by saxophonists like Stan Getz and fellow Norwegian Jan Garbarek, but also contemporaries such as Mats Gustafsson. In 2009 he discovered opera at the Met in NYC, and decided to start taking singing lessons, resulting in a rather special turn for his career. Now Kornstad combines his innovative tenor saxophone playing with a tenor career. In his own new ensemble, he combines Scandinavian jazz with opera arias. He also sings opera roles in classical productions. Previous Kornstad projects have included the bands Wibutee, Kornstad Trio, duos with Sidsel Endresen, Ingebrigt Flaten and Håvard Wiik.
