Hot Club de Norvège + Majken Christiansen
Join us for a swinging jazz experience with the legendary Hot Club de Norvège and the charismatic singer Majken Christiansen – the Nordic region’s foremost interpreter of Ella Fitzgerald! Majken is more than just a vocalist; she’s a storyteller and entertainer who, with her unique warmth and energy, transforms every concert into an unforgettable experience.
The magical musical chemistry between Majken and Hot Club de Norvège first sparked at the Django Festival, and now the audience at Moldejazz gets to experience it again. With her signature groove and vocal playfulness, Majken blends seamlessly with the band’s virtuosic string work.
The evening also features Ola Erlien, the young guitarist carrying the tradition forward while injecting fresh energy into the band’s dynamic sound. Together with Gildas Le Pape on guitar, Finn Hauge on harmonica, and Svein Aarbostad on bass, Hot Club de Norvège delivers top-tier string swing, deeply rooted in the legacy of Django Reinhardt and the Hot Club de France.
Prepare for a concert filled with elegant swing, dazzling guitar playing, and a musical journey through the most iconic soundscapes of swing jazz. It will be an afternoon where guitar strings glow and jazz hearts beat in harmony!
