The Trondheim Jazz Orchestra has been one of the most popular and eclectic jazz orchestras in Norway for almost 25 years. The collective not only accompanies Norwegian musicians, but international celebrities such as Pat Metheny and Joshua Redman have also used their services. They performed at the festival in 2014 and 2017 with Marius Neset and Chick Corea respectively. The orchestra works with a pool of musicians, comprising a number of well-known Norwegian jazz players, who are enlisted according to the nature of the project. During NN North Sea Jazz, Trondheim Jazz Orchestra is scheduled to play with GURLS. This trio, led by saxophonist Hanna Paulsberg, has been evolving into one of the flagships of the Norwegian jazz scene since 2013. Their debut album Run Boy, Run won the prestigious Spellemann Prize for best jazz album. The Trondheim Jazz Orchestra commissioned Paulsberg to write seven pieces for vocals and orchestra that allow pop and jazz to meet in a wonderfully inventive manner.
